The market

The global healthcare information technology market is now estimated to grow at 16 percent per year and will surpass
USD 50 billion by 2014.

There is a tremendous untapped demand for clinical and non-clinical systems driven by changing government regulation and initiatives to bring down the healthcare costs.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. ARRA includes physicians' incentives of more than USD 20 billion over 5 years for healthcare information technology under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.

At a fundamental level, the world currently spends about USD 5 trillion on healthcare every year. If every nation spent the same amount per capita as the EU average, the figure would exceed USD 17 trillion. If all nations were to spend the same amount per capita as the US it would be astronomically USD 40 trillion - every year. We can only be optimistic about the future of our industry.

A clear plan of action

CompuGROUP begins with an HPS business in a new country usually through an acquired customer base. Revenues and earnings are then increased through optimization of efficiency and by distributing centrally developed add-on products.

Further value is created by introducing CompuGROUP's unique HCS products to health insurance companies and pharmaceutical producers. A nationwide consumer business is then developed through patient centered web-based EMR.
