Subtitle: CompuGROUP has forward-looking results for Decision Support
At this year´s MEDICA, CompuGROUP Holding AG,
one of the leading worldwide providers of eHealth, will present the 
first concrete results for one of their most important Medical 
Decision Support Systems(MDSS). A study of the care received by 
almost 5,000 participant patients in the IV project "AOK aktiv + 
vital", a joint project with the AOK of Hessen, demonstrated that 
workflow-integrated software solutions improve patients' health and 
at the same time are instrumental in resource and cost savings. 
Currently, more than 6,000 patients are cared for as part of the "AOK
aktiv + vital" project.
One of the notable results of the innovative, software-assisted 
program for diabetic and at-risk patients: Approximately every third 
patient who was outside of recommended parameters at the start of the
program had blood pressure and triglyceride levels already within the
targeted region after the first three months. This positive trend was
maintained and improved during the subsequent year of review and had 
improved with particular regard to the marker for long-term blood 
sugar control, the HbA1c level. "One of the medical quality 
indicators we looked at were the so-called triglycerides. When they 
decrease, the patient is either eating better, getting more exercise 
or the physician has prescribed medication that improves the overall 
risk profile. That was exactly our goal - to adapt the affected 
patient´s life to the risk constellation," said Professor Dr. med. 
Stefan F. Winter, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of CompuGROUP Holding 
AG. Members of his team were instrumental in helping to plan the 
medical concept of AOK aktiv + vital 2007 and they translated it into
a fully integrated software solution.
In addition, an independent medical expert panel monitors the current
guideline- based contents and their results. MEDICA president 
Professor Dr. med. Werner Scherbaum is also a member of this panel. 
"Together with the AOK, we had these analyses and the evaluation of 
the program carried out by independent, university-associated 
companies. The results came in two weeks ago and quite honestly, it 
was more than we expected," continued the CMO, who meanwhile was 
looking at the results from seven quarterly periods, as well as the 
first documentation of more than 1.000 patients.
"We see these very promising results as a renewed challenge to anchor
our Medical Decision Support Systems in the healthcare system as a 
new, third pillar of the industry," said CompuGROUP´s Chief Executive
Officer, Frank Gotthardt, at the company´s MEDICA press conference on
Wednesday. "Up to now, the industry was primarily dedicated to the 
two pillars drug therapy and medical products, but an additional 
option is increasingly developing and has shown itself to be 
efficient as well as effective: The use of intelligent software to 
optimize the utilization of all resources in the healthcare system, 
consistent with an increase in efficiency and quality," said the 
company founder. Mr. Gotthardt also pointed out that, in part, there 
was evidence of savings amounting to several thousand Euros per 
patient per year. "Even though these are initial trend analyses that 
have to be honed further, we are certainly on the right path and we 
will continue to follow the results with interest, together with 
healthcare professionals and economists.  It has been worth it to 
have lived through numerous childhood illnesses, which one encounters
with every new, visionary project."
MEDICA, the worldwide largest event for experts in the medical 
sector, celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. CompuGROUP is also
represented at the trade fair with numerous subsidiaries, in pavilion
15, C32.
