Healthcare Sector Relies on CompuGroup Medical in Implementing the
Electronic Health Card
Koblenz, December 3rd, 2013: CompuGroup Medical (CGM), one of the world's
leading eHealth companies, won the tender advertised by the Society for
Telematic Applications for the German Health Card (gematik) in a consortium
with Booz&Company and KoCo Connector. The tender is for the online
rollout of the first level testing for the telematic infrastructure in one
of two test regions in Germany.
The tender was for the development, construction, operation and provision
all components and services (e.g. connector, card terminal&VPN access
service) necessary for the connection to the telematic infrastructure for
all participating medical professionals (e.g. doctors, dentists,
psychotherapists, hospitals). The term 'Telematik' (telematics) is a
combination of the German words 'Telekommunikation' (telecommunications)
and 'Informatik' (information technology). Telematics is concerned with
networking the IT systems of doctor's practices, pharmacies, hospitals and
health insurances, thus achieving a cross-sector information exchange. It
is a closed network only accessible to those holding a healthcare
professional card or a healthcare card.
The telematic infrastructure is designed in such a way that the existing
informational limitations of the healthcare sector will be overcome.
Medical confidentiality and the right to informational self-determination
shall remain intact. The nationwide roll out for this infrastructure is
scheduled to commence after thorough testing and a comprehensive
evaluation, both of which should be completed in 2016. It will be designed
and implemented by gematik, an organization which was founded by the
leading health care provider associations as well as the health insurances
of the German healthcare sector.
'We are pleased that gematik is confident in our abilities and the solution
we and our partners, Booz&Company and KoCo Connector, have provided. This
also serves as a sign of the National Association of Statutory Health
Insurance Physicians and other leading statutory health insurance
associations' great appreciation of our innovative abilities. Thus, the
foundation for a modern electronic infrastructure in the German health care
system has been laid', said Frank Gotthardt, CEO of CompuGroup Medical AG.
