RIYADH – CompuGroup Medical announced the successful merger of subsidiaries "Tepe International" and "CGM Turkiye" which led to the creation of a new company "CompuGroup Medical (CGM)" - the most powerful IT healthcare provider in Middle East and Turkey.From now on, CGM focuses on two strong divisions (HIS, HPSIS) providing user-friendly state-of-the-art health information solutions and systems for hospitals, healthcare institutions and health payers. The core products and solutions of CGM are scalable workflow-based solutions for modern clinics (HIS division), professional services and solutions for health payers and high-end TPA (Third Party Administrator) services for private health insurance companies and other health payers like bank funds.By combining successful healthcare sub-segments, CGM follows the vision of "Synchronizing Healthcare" - connecting the relevant healthcare players in the local healthcare markets and providing reliable decision support systems to physicians by delivering them actual patient data on the point of diagnose and care - leading to a completely new generation of healthcare IT. The basis to realize these benefits is the persuasion of workflow-orientation and CGM solutions are focused on supporting the most relevant healthcare processes by assisting the patient's workflow. "This merger to form "CGM - CompuGroup Medical" is a huge step forward to fulfill our vision of synchronizing healthcare. It is an important strategic move that establishes a leading e-Health provider for the Gulf and the Middle East region. It enables us to let citizens benefit from a better care and therapy quality, while reducing the total cost of medical services," said Mehmet Bilginsoy, CGM's Managing Director in the Middle East."We will take advantage of the growing demand for world-class healthcare services in the key markets of the Gulf region. Saudi Arabia continues to aggressively expand its healthcare facilities with plans to build 12 new hospitals on top of a total of 120 medical facilities now under construction that will collectively add 26,700 beds to the current supply.To be successful in a market like Saudi Arabia, it is not enough to have workflow-based hospital information systems and delivery services at an outstanding quality - you also need a clear company and product positioning in the local market and the reliable technical and financial backbone of a global IT player - that's what CGM stands for," Bilginsoy assured. – SG
