Koblenz, July 9th, 2015: For over 25 years, CompuGroup Medical (CGM) has offered information systems for all tasks and sectors in healthcare. In addition, the eHealth provider promotes the electronic networking of medical providers with each other and with the patient. This area - Health Connectivity Services - should be further expanded. With this, CGM will continue to strengthen its role as a pioneer in the eHealth market. The company is already one of the leading providers of medical information and communication technologies.

'CGM has market shares of up to 70 percent among health service providers worldwide. Thanks to our market position, our customers can rest assured that our products will be constantly further developed based on their needs and for their support', stressed Frank Gotthardt, Chief Executive Officer of CompuGroup Medical AG.

Intelligent IT Guides Added-value Dialogue in the Healthcare Sector

With the expansion of connectivity services, the company will focus more on added-value in the dialogue between service providers in the future. Intelligent software already provides valuable information in context-sensitive areas of workflows today. With this, the company makes the direct exchange between cost bearers and doctors as well as doctors, pharmacists, hospitals, laboratories and the industry possible. The combination of market knowledge and IT understanding drives a dialog focused on added-value in the daily working routine as well as the convenient provision and retrieval of information.

Optimization of Interoperability for Third-party Suppliers

CompuGroup Medical is in direct contact to various stakeholders in healthcare in 19 countries via its software products. Now the company would like to make its wide-spread market access with service providers available to other IT suppliers in the form of a partnership program. Standardized interfaces should make it possible for other IT providers and cooperation partners worldwide to add their offers to the CGM platform. Through this, CGM users and customers will be able to profit from additional services. Cooperation partners can network their innovative applications with the CGM platform thus creating significant added-value for the users. 'Our products are well established. With us as a partner, third-party suppliers receive direct market access to our customers via the most secure and modern technology', said Mr. Gotthardt in summary.
