Orange Healthcare and CompuGroup® Medical France sign a partnership agreement to offer doctors a complete service for managing their practice

Paris, March 22, 2010
Following the MEDEC general medicine show, CompuGroup® Medical France, the leading software and service specialist for health professionals, and Orange Healthcare, the dedicated healthcare division of Orange®, have signed a partnership agreement in order to offer doctors a packaged solution with:
 
a computer
a CPS card reader
online software for managing patient records
a remote transmission system for electronic medical expense forms
internet access, combined with a hardware and software maintenance service.
 
This is the first solution offered today by a telecommunications operator and a medical software publisher in terms of new technologies for the medical sector. Doctors will be able to devote themselves fully to their role as doctors, benefiting from an "all-in-one" solution, which will free them up from IT management constraints.

For Thierry Zylberberg, Executive Director of Orange Healthcare: "We firmly believe that this first partnership agreement sealed with one of the major healthcare IT publishers will make it possible to improve usage of information technologies by self-employed healthcare professionals. Looking forward, we aim to extend this type of partnership to include other players in this sector".

"Today, our challenge is to enable healthcare professionals to fully perform their role thanks to effective tools which are relatively free from restrictions. We are convinced that, thanks to the agreement we have signed with Orange Healthcare, we will be able to achieve this goal more quickly", confirms Eddie Anoufa, Chairman of CompuGroup® Medical France.
