CompuGroup Medical Deutschland AG (CGM) is the first provider to meet all the necessary requirements and is now connecting practices, starting with dental practices, to the telematics infrastructure. All components and services required for a TI installation are approved by gematik and are ready for delivery.
After the doctor information systems CGM ALBIS, CGM MEDISTAR, CGM M1 PRO, CGM TURBOMED and the dentist information systems CGM Z1, CHREMASOFT, CGM HIGHDENT PLUS as well as the hospital information system CGM CLINICAL have already received confirmation of conformity for productive operation, the approval of the KoCoBox MED+ connector, the The eHealth card reader ORGA 6141, the CGM VPN access service and the CGM intermediary VSDM now provide all the necessary components for a TI connection of practices. CGM is the first full-service provider to have all the necessary TI components and services required for a quick, easy and professional connection to TI. At the same time, in addition to the sector approval of the KZBV, the Bundesdruckerei has now also received the approval of gematik as a trusted service provider, so that card production of the institutional card (SMC-B), initially for dentists, can begin. Approval for doctors is also expected in the short term, so that the connection of medical practices can then take place promptly.
The approvals of the TI components are the starting signal for the installation dates in the practices. Several thousand orders have already been received. CGM and its partners are now starting to implement all installations ordered for the fourth quarter of 2017.
The CGM certification program for hundreds of technicians and specialists started back in June. The certification program, based on the extensive and optimized installation experience from the successful testing phase, included all steps that are important for quick and professional installation in practice: from checking the requirements to professional installation and training the practice staff in the TI -Components. In addition, the correct integration into the existing practice system played a particularly important role. The CGM-certified technicians have in-depth knowledge of the telematics infrastructure and are also very familiar with the interaction of TI components and the respective doctor or dentist information systems.
At the same time, extensive investments have been made in recent months in the approval-compliant safety of the storage and transport of all TI components: From production to the installation of the TI components in practice, CGM guarantees the highest safety standards, guaranteed by a secure and traceable supply chain at all times . From the high-security warehouse in Koblenz, delivery to the dentist and doctor's practices of the TI components takes place according to the highest security standards. At the end of this precisely defined supply and storage chain is the CGM-certified technician, who brings all the ordered components to the practice on the agreed installation date.
“The approval of our product chain with all necessary TI components marks the end point of intensive development and is at the same time the starting point for the transfer of one of the largest IT projects in the world into operation. As early as next year, all doctors and dentists in Germany will be working in the best possible protection in the highly secure network of telematics infrastructure. At the same time, the TI opens the way to the introduction of medical e-health applications, such as: B. the electronic patient file,” says Uwe Eibich, CEO of CompuGroup Medical Deutschland AG.
