Mastering healthcare challenges with SAP and T-Systems

Jointly seeking ideal solutions, breaking new ground and helping shape the future through innovations - SAP and T-Systems have been working together for 16 years, with great success.

The basis of the successful cooperation between T-Systems and SAP is the in-depth sector-specific expertise of T-Systems and its ability to provide solutions which cross organisational boundaries and don't only optimise internal hospital processes. The sector expertise of T-Systems was applied right at the beginning of the partnership, when 16 years ago the basis of "SAP Patient Management" was laid down with T-Systems expertise in terms of both modelling and development. With the help of T-Systems, SAP very quickly succeeded in launching a successful product for administrative processes in hospitals onto the market in the form of "SAP Patient Management". In the years since, the focus has increasingly been directed towards clinical processes. Together with the "Gesellschaft für Systemforschung und Dienstleistungen (GSD Berlin)" T-Systems stayed abreast of this with the development of the clinical system i.s.h.med.

Flexibility of IT solutions

Many of the surrounding conditions in healthcare have changed since T-Systems and SAP began working together in 1992. But what has remained the same, and possibly been pushed even further to the fore in recent years, are questions about the stability of healthcare systems and their viability of financing, along with the expansion of hospital processes to include for example health insurers, the pharmaceuticals industry and research. All of this calls for processes which go beyond flexible integration of clinical practice, patient management and accounting, and involve ERP as the central system for managerial functions. In future even greater flexibility of IT solutions will be demanded in order to keep pace with dynamic changes in the healthcare system. SAP and T-Systems are doing their utmost to cope with the challenges of the times and continuously present their customers with the optimum solutions.
