Company Information/World Health Summit
As one of the world's leading e-health
providers CompuGROUP Holding AG is very much committed to achieving 
innovation within the health system. The company's Decision Support 
Systems and electronic health records enhance diagnostics and patient
treatment whilst also bringing about an increase in efficiency. This 
topic also formed the subject for today's address given to the World 
Health Summit in Berlin by CompuGROUP's Chief Medical Officer Prof. 
Dr. Stefan F. Winter.
The overarching objective of CompuGROUP is to increase efficiency in 
the health system without needing to resort to cost-cutting measures.
In order to achieve this aim, CompuGROUP is pursuing the idea of 
cross-sectoral networking of all health system stakeholders and 
seeking to introduce an effective telematics infrastructure extending
across the whole of the country. The company believes that this 
should be realised via a consortium under the lead management of the 
partner companies of service providers acting in conjunction with 
Gematik (electronic health card company for the application of 
telematics mbH).
CompuGROUP also takes the view that equal importance needs to be 
attached to making greater use of intelligent medical software in the
form of so-called Medical Decision Support Systems (MDSS). Decision 
Support Systems provide doctors with relevant medical information on 
the basis of a patient's existing medical data. This information is 
made available electronically at the precise time and place required.
Decision Support Systems deliver targeted and efficient assistance to
those involved in patient treatment and support the highly 
responsible enhanced diagnostics and therapy work carried out every 
day by health professionals.
The main focus is on greater security of diagnosis and treatment. 
This acts as a vehicle for increasing the quality of care and has 
established itself the third main pillar of the healthcare system 
alongside medicines and medical products. Broader deployment of MDSS 
could drastically reduce the number of wrongly issued prescriptions. 
These amount to almost three million in Germany alone and cause in 
excess of one million unnecessary days spent in hospital as well as 
resulting in over 15,000 deaths due to - avoidable - side effects 
triggered by medication.
In addressing this topic at the World Health Summit on 15 October, 
CompuGROUP Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Prof. Dr. Stefan F. Winter 
formulated the company's demands in the following manner. "We are in 
favour of an effective incentive system in the form of the nationwide
introduction of totally confidential health records to be 
administered by doctors. This should be an optional benefit for the 
purpose of delivering higher quality of care rather than a compulsory
scheme". The aim should be for statutory and private health insurance
companies to be able to engage in fair competition and to cooperate 
with one another on the deployment of new technologies for the 
purpose of achieving greater efficiency in the health system. The 
German Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians should be
freed from unnecessarily bureaucratic regulations and left to devote 
their full attention to their duty to provide safety and quality 
assurance. "Intelligent IT solutions in the care sector will have a 
crucial impact on the individual medicine practised in the 21st 
century and will also represent a completely new form of health 
policy: public health strategies on the basis of evidence", Winter 
continued.
The World Health Summit is the leading event of its kind for 
researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers and stakeholders 
in the health system. It takes place annually and this year will be 
held in Berlin for the first time from 14 to 18 October 2009.
