Company Information
Koblenz (euro adhoc) - March 20, 2013: Poland is revolutionizing its healthcare
system. All citizens will be able to see and maintain their personal medical
data electronically. Using modern IT, all healthcare providers can use and
maintain the same data together. CompuGroup Medical participated in realizing
this nation-wide healthcare project.
Starting in 2014, Poland will implement a comprehensive web-based electronic
patient record (EPR). The Polish government is investing millions of Euros in
the project to improve patient healthcare. With all data centrally available,
the treating physicians can quickly access any previous findings and current
treatment options. This knowledge allows them to offer targeted treatment,
which avoids unnecessary costs for the healthcare system as well as medical
risks i.e. undesirable drug interactions.
"We are shaping up projects in several other European countries, such as, the
implementation of pilot projects regarding ELGA in Austria. Our knowledge and
especially our previous experience were recognized when selecting a partner.
This project sets the course for the future and will simplify and improve the
healthcare for all Polish citizens", rejoiced Frank Gotthardt, CEO of CompuGroup
Medical AG.
In the first stage, CompuGroup Medical will provide an electronic patient record
in cooperation with several international IT companies. Physicians in both
practices and hospitals can transfer data from their system to the central file
and back with only a few simple clicks. Later, pharmacies, laboratories,
insurances and other participants will follow suit.
