IT companies play a central role in the healthcare sector by providing a secure and reliable infrastructure with their services. The BSI recognizes "healthcare" as a critical infrastructure, which underlines the high pressure to act and the opportunities in the industry.>

 

IT companies that support the healthcare sector with their service modules and services have become systemically important as a digital backbone. They ensure that facilities and organizations in all areas of the healthcare system can work and operate securely and reliably. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) also confirms this system relevance and considers "healthcare" >as one of the ten critical infrastructure sectors>>. In the industry itself, the pressure to change and act is high. However, rapid technological progress is also constantly creating new opportunities.

Systemic Relevance Thanks to Industry Experience and Expertise

The digital transformation wave is not nearly over or mastered for us yet, as we are already in the middle of the next one with the introduction, expansion and possibilities of artificial intelligence. I hear this time and again in conversations with and from customers and potential customers in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. This is usually before we point out paths in our joint processes, outline milestones, combine cloud and AI components and present complete digital transformation solutions.
We cannot predict every change in the healthcare industry with certainty, but we can prepare our customers for a wide range of scenarios in the best possible way.


We are able to do this because all of our IT specialists know the broad market inside out - on the one hand through experience from our successful customer projects, but also because many colleagues in our teams have already worked in these sectors. They know the requirements, the hurdles and also the possibilities and opportunities. Industry experience and IT know-how have allowed Arvato Systems to grow into one of the largest system-relevant IT consulting companies. Our consistent corporate orientation continues to strengthen our system relevance for the entire healthcare system.

Excellent IT for a Resilient Healthcare System

Every prescription medicine dispensed by pharmacies, surgeries and hospitals in Germany passes through our National Verification System. The Data Matrix code is scanned for this purpose. In this way, patients receive their medicines safely and in a controlled manner. In addition to this protection mechanism against counterfeit medicines, our other IT solutions range from the stable operation of the central services of the telematics infrastructure (TI) for the e-prescription to secure and confidential communication between the various service providers in the healthcare sector.

 

To make it clear: The service modules from Arvato Systems ensure that around ten billion medicines are dispensed to a good 450 million people in Europe in a controlled manner every year. That's over 45 million medications per day. Reliable IT services from Arvato Systems ensure that only original medicines reach patients' healthcare systems.

Our TI gateway connecTI with the Messenger service tim+, the CardLink solution for ePrescription, the TIaaS flexTI and the service kim+ connect all stakeholders in the healthcare industry faster, more securely and more stably. Last but not least, our own data centers and GDPR-compliant European cloud solutions ensure that hospital information systems (HIS) efficiently manage both administrative processes and patient care in hospitals. These HIS ensure the smooth flow of information and help to ensure that medical procedures can be carried out as planned. In these sensitive areas, the high system relevance and responsibility of Arvato Systems become particularly clear: Our solutions can be decisive for the well-being of patients.

“Simplifying Healthcare” for the Entire Healthcare System

Arvato Systems supports all players in the German healthcare sector with their individual challenges relating to comprehensive digital transformation, cloud architectures and AI applications. Our goal is "Simplifying Healthcare". Our digital solutions take the entire IT package off our customers' shoulders. They want to and should concentrate on their respective core tasks, while Arvato Systems relieves them of all IT tasks and issues.

 

Only with our customers, their IT projects and of course our highly specialized employees have we been able to achieve the highest partnership awards from all relevant hyperscalers.

 

In this respect, we are only too happy to share our system relevance with our customers from the pharmaceutical, healthcare, HIS and PVS sectors, therapists, care associations and statutory health insurance providers. Together as partners, we are strong, efficient and take system relevance to the next level.
