Subtitle: CompuGroup Medical invests 130 million euros in the
healthcare system

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - July 28, 2011: How does the linked healthcare
system of the future function? At present, every physician maintains
patient data in an isolated fashion, recording only the treatment he
provided. However, illnesses frequently have a mutual causality and
require an integrated therapeutic approach. A comprehensive patient
history is therefore extremely helpful for optimum care, with easy
access to all relevant diagnoses and therapies by all physicians
during the course of a patient´s life. This is precisely what
CompuGroup Medical is setting out to accomplish.

During the next five years, CompuGroup Medical AG will invest 130
million euros for innovations in the healthcare system. One of the
future-oriented product developments is the web-based personal health
record, CGM Life. It enables the electronic exchange between medical
service providers. Elaborate data collections and repeat analyses
will thereby become a thing of the past - through linking various
facilities, e.g. medical office, pharmacy, hospital or rehabilitation
facility, many local health records will turn into one central
web-based file. It bundles all of a patient´s relevant medical data.

Integrated information for optimized treatment CGM Life differs from
many other health records in that it is assigned to the patient and
serves him, the owner of the record, as storage for his personal
health information, but is primarily filled with data coming directly
from the information systems of the treating physicians, pursuant to
their stipulations. Due to the immediate access to correspondingly
valid data, the physicians are able to directly utilize the
information at hand. In addition, they can also utilize the
advantages of automated processes on the basis of this structured
information. These processes are made available through the CGM
Software Assisted Medicine (SAM) systems and offer physicians a
variety of services (e.g. medical guidelines, automated prescription
drug checks, risk assessment and recommendations for a course of
action). In addition, rather than spending a lot of time instructing
patients, physicians are able to enter general as well as
patient-specific information into the file - allowing them to devote
more time on important points while talking to their patients.

Data protection at the highest level CompuGroup Medical´s safety
procedures not only fulfill the legal data protection requirements,
but far exceed them: all sensitive data is already encrypted in the
medical office and is then transferred via an additionally secured
network. The protection of health data is thusly warranted at all
times. Only the patient and physicians authorized by him/her are able
to view the medical data and unauthorized third parties aren´t able
to do so, even in theory. Technologically, CompuGroup Medical is a
worldwide leader with these patented safety procedures during a time
where data protection is becoming increasingly more important.

Medical office example: During the consultation, lab results that
were initiated by the primary physician one week ago can be
reviewed in the doctor information system (DIS) by the specialist
providing further care. They do not have to be specially ordered
and recorded, nor do they need to be redone. Scheduling the
patient for another appointment, for example to draw blood, is just
as unnecessary as the time-consuming inquiry either by phone or in
writing to obtain the lab values from the primary physician.
Having the authenticated information at hand provides the
physician with the best data base for efficient treatment.

After he has concluded the discussion with the patient, the physician
is able to upload copies of general information, findings,
confirmed diagnoses or medication prescribed into the central
health record. Transferring data between a local and a central
health record is easy - the systems are linked through interfaces.
