CompuGroup Medical : Takes Over Telemedicine Service Provider La-Well Systems GmbH

On April 1, CompuGroup Medical SE (CGM) acquired La-Well Systems GmbH based in Bünde, Germany. With the acquisition of the provider of the video consultation software elVi® and La-Well Waiting Room TV, CGM is expanding its portfolio to include powerful and leading-edge channels for doctor-patient and doctor-to-doctor communication.

Medical care in rural areas, the prompt availability of medical appointments and effective medical care in nursing homes are just a few of the major challenges facing many health systems worldwide today. Video consultation is a solution module that has gained widespread recognition. CompuGroup Medical SE has acquired La-Well Systems GmbH to provide this secure and convenient communication channel, which can be directly integrated into the proven information systems of medical practices, hospitals and care facilities.

The video consultation software elVi® is the only video communication solution for the healthcare sector that has been certified by TÜViT GmbH and thus meets the highest requirements for security and data protection. In addition, it has already been evaluated and tested in practice through its use in a wide range of projects. 'Especially after the expected amendment of the German Distance Treatment Act, this product will become very interesting for our customers,' says Frank Gotthardt, CEO of CGM. 'We expect great synergies and advantages from the symbiosis of our solutions with the La-Well products.'

CGM will link elVi® in particular with its LIFE product portfolio, including the digital patient file and online appointment management. In this way, new tailor-made offers for service providers in practices, hospitals and care facilities can be offered for optimal and networked care of patients worldwide. Patients can book video appointments with the attending doctor, conduct the video consultation from anywhere and, if necessary, pay directly online. Communication is supported by the uncomplicated sharing and viewing of medical information. Doctors can safely coordinate their video consultation with their co-treating colleagues and other professionals in compliance with data protection requirements. The solution enables secure video conferences with up to five participants simultaneously.

La-Well Systems GmbH offers elVi® and the La-Well Waiting Room TV. It enables service providers in practices and hospitals to individually present their range of services, to easily pass on important information and to entertain patients.
