Koblenz (euro adhoc) - Federal Data Protection Commissioner Peter
Schaar demands compliance with the highest standards of data
security. CompuGROUP Holding AG, one of the leading e-health service
providers in the world, fulfils these requirements with its vita-X
patient file.

Federal Data Protection Commissioner Peter Schaar recently addressed
participants at a symposium on the telematics project in Hanover. Mr
Schaar was quoted as follows in an article in the Deutsches
Ärzteblatt of 22 May 2009: "Personal data are already collected on a
large scale, by health insurers, pharmacies and physicians, for
example." He also noted strong pressure with respect to the storage
of data on the web, but added that these data are afforded no
technical or legal protection, such as anti-seizure protection.

With the vita-X patient file, CompuGROUP already offers a system that
provides the best possible protection: a combination of tested and
certified data security and anti-seizure protection systems.

vita-X: tested and certified data security In collaboration with data
protection auditors and IT security experts from the TÜV Saarland,
the vita-X specialists subjected all data-related processes to a
rigorous review - from data transmission to storage on central
servers to the retrieval and recording of patient data. The result:
vita-X not only meets but clearly exceeds the strict statutory
security requirements and ensures systematic data security in
accordance with the highest standards. A corresponding certificate of
"Tested Data Security" was issued by the TÜV Saarland in the autumn
of 2008.

vita-X: anti-seizure protection The vita-X technology provides
optimum data security thanks to an anonymous, encrypted data storage
system. In this way, patient data are protected against manipulation,
theft and seizure. The technology was realized for the most part on
the basis of patented methods of authentication and cryptography.
Thanks to this innovative solution, it is technically impossible -
even for administrators, insiders or confiscating institutions, to
gain access to patient records. The vita-X security concept surpasses
even the statutory anti- seizure protection requirements for
physicians' surgeries.

"With the CompuGROUP vita-X patient file, all health service
providers will be networked across sector boundaries and have
immediate online access to relevant portions of a patient's medical
data with the patient's consent. Thus vita-X offers an ideal
opportunity to achieve further improvement in existing healthcare
systems. The fact that we not only meet but actually exceed all legal
and technical data security requirements is entirely in keeping with
our policy", says Uwe Eibich, Executive Vice President Central Europe
of CompuGROUP Holding AG. "The vita-X patient file", adds Eibich,
"also provides an ideal basis for successful implementation. After
all, CompuGROUP now reaches roughly 45% of all health service
providers and some 330,000 physicians worldwide with its products."
