Koblenz (euro adhoc) - Koblenz (Germany) - November 18, 2008: With more than
10,000 telemed.net users,
CompuGROUP Holding AG, the leading European eHealth provider with headquarters
in Koblenz, sets the German healthcare system's networking standard right on
time for MEDICA. telemed.net has now established itself as the leading player
in the intersectoral communication market.

In order to work efficiently, the healthcare system's actors must be able to
rely on open cross-business, trans-sectoral electronic communication that
reaches as many participants in the healthcare system as possible. This applies
to doctors, hospitals and doctors' networks as well as to the Associations of
Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (Kassenärztliche Vereinigungen) and
governmental health insurances. Here, the motto is: The simpler, the better.
And: More means more efficiency.

telemed.net, the open communications platform of telemed Online Service für
Heilberufe GmbH, a subsidiary of CompuGROUP Holding AG, has already been
adopted by more than 10,000 users as a simple and affordable intersectoral
online communication infrastructure. Not only does telemed.net enable the
uncomplicated and secure exchange of medical information and documents between
doctors in governmental healthcare - it also offers, for example, integration
with the CORDOBA net file, data exchange with hospitals, online-delivery of
invoices to Associations of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and
participation in managed care contracts.

Its outstanding versatility as well as its integration into medical information
systems fuels the rapid acceptance of telemed.net as the preferred networking
solution for all parties involved in the healthcare system. This is why to date
more than 10,000 users have decided that telemed.net is their solution of
choice. Among others, these are the users of the ALBIS, CompuMED, DATA VITAL,
MEDISTAR and TurboMed information systems for doctors. Together, they represent
approximately 50% of the entire market. A decisive advantage for telemed.net
users is the fact that existing structures and standards are kept without
having to use new telematics platforms with small user numbers.

The enormous potential of intersectoral networking based on the telemed.net
standard are showcased at MEDICA 2008 via CompuGROUP Future.net. Future.net
impressively demonstrates the exchange of information and data with the CORDOBA
net file, the ISPro doctor portal and the acute care solution sytema.fd-klinika
as well as the rehabilitation solution systema.lifeCure.

"The integration with information systems is a decisive factor for the
acceptance of intersectoral communication. It has made telemed.net into what it
is today - it is now at the top of the league of networking solutions.
telemed.net stands for CompuGROUP's competence and role as a pioneer in the
networking of actors in the healthcare and welfare systems," underlines Frank
Gotthardt, Chairman of the Board of CompuGROUP Holding AG.
