Signify Premium Insight: CompuGroup Medical Picks Up VISUS Health IT

CompuGroup Medical (CGM), the second-most installed EMR vendor in Germany has purchased VISUS Health IT. The acquisition of the PACS vendor will bolster CompuGroup’s capability, enabling it to offer additional products to its own customers, gain an entry point into VISUS’ customer base, and most importantly, put it into a stronger position to benefit from the German Hospital Future Act (KHZG).

Vendor Impact

• While the acquisition of VISUS won’t fundamentally move the market forward in terms of enterprise imaging maturity, with other vendors also offering imaging IT alongside their EMR solutions, it will make it more competitive.
