Parts of the software were first published in 1998 by Jungjohann Verlag as a networkable practice and clinic appointment planner . The complete software package has been available as CPA from med3 GmbH, Neckarsulm, since 2001 .

technology

Comprehensive Patient Administrator is a database-driven application that uses a proprietary data format. The system is used for communication between networked workstations and for archiving medical and billing-related data. All work steps are carried out with a digital signature in order to legitimize the processes. The data is stored in encrypted form. In order to additionally protect the data against unauthorized access, the database can no longer be opened as soon as it has been copied to another data carrier ; In such a case, the database can only be restored using a master password, which must be requested from the manufacturer with the appropriate proof of legitimation.

platform

The software is only available in two versions for Microsoft Windows operating systems:

  • Win16
    Comprehensive Patient Administrator 16-bit system
    Win32
    Comprehensive Patient Administrator 32-bit system
