Subtitle: - With SAM, CompuGroup Medical (CGM) presents the first
proactive assistance software for general medicine and specialist
practices - SAM optimizes patient care management and
interdisciplinary collaboration in the health care system -

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - 06/27/2012: With the development of the SAM
technology (Software Assisted Medicine), CompuGroup Medical AG
presents the first proactive assistance system as an addition to
practice software. The technology assists attending physicians
interactively with guideline-based and integrated patient care. A
successful, ongoing pilot project with Knappschaft Bahn See using SAM
Diabetes will be expanded on 01 July 2012.

SAM structures and analyses indication-relevant patient data from the
doctor information system (DIS). The entire treatment process is
monitored comprehensively - from the medical history to the treatment
to the long-term compliance of the patients. Using medical
algorithms, SAM provides guidance for diagnosis and therapy,
information about medication and specialist referral recommendations.
Current medical knowledge is displayed for the physician precisely
when he needs it.

Closely coordinated process management and timely indication of the
diagnosis and therapy steps pay off in the long run: thus, project
evaluations for SAM Diabetes, a program for diabetes care, show that
treatment costs for the inpatient therapy are reduced, and patient
care is improved. Hans Adolf Müller, Head of Health Care Management
at Knappschaft Bahn See knows: "We have been successfully using SAM
Diabetes from CGM already for several years: the patients have been
shown to be healthier at lower costs. That means not only a higher
quality of life but also a gain for all of us."

An important component of the proactive SAM assistance solution is
the systematic, software-supported networking of the participants
involved in the healthcare system. All indication-related patient
data and findings are available in the DIS to attending physicians
through the web. This constitutes a significant improvement in
interdisciplinary cooperation without information losses. Frank
Gotthardt, CEO of CompuGroup Medical AG emphasized: "The high quality
of the intersectoral communication between pharmacists, physicians
and insurance companies under the umbrella of the highest data
security standards is an important step toward the creation of a
sustainable, intelligently linked healthcare system."

The team of experts at CompuGroup Medical has also thought about the
topic of security: to protect patient and physician data during
electronic storage and processing the company has introduced the
multi-patented vita-X technology. This exceeds by far not only the
guidelines of the medical associations but also the security
regulations in Germany. "With SAM we meet the physicians' wish to
communicate with other participating professional partners securely
and efficiently while conserving resources," said Gotthardt.

The Knappschaft Bahn See has recognized this and, starting July 2012,
is expanding SAM Diabetes to the prosper networks in the Saarland
region and in Gelsenkirchen/Gladbeck. A total of more than 8,000
diabetes patients can participate in the program.
