The volume of the contract totals around EUR 21 million, EUR 4.4. million of which are attributable to the eight-year maintenance contract, which was concluded at the same time. The order underscores the significance of adesso’s consultancy and software development expertise in the healthcare sector. adesso will be supported by its partner in the consortium, HBSN AG, which will provide products and services worth some EUR 4 million. The overall system will be developed and productively deployed in phases. The first module is scheduled to enter production in late 2018. Project completion is scheduled for late 2021. The new industry solution will support the 15 MDK regional offices in fulfilling their mission to advise Germany’s statutory health insurance providers. Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung (MDK) is an association of regional consultancy and assessment service providers for the health and nursing care insurance industry. The organisation has a legal mandate to support and advise statutory health and social nursing care insurance providers in medical and care-related matters. With a staff of over 7,500 employees, the MDK members are modern, independent service providers that are dedicated to safety, reliability and quality in healthcare. The MDK’s typical tasks include reviewing hospital bills, prescriptions and rehabilitation services, as well as assessing care dependency and providing an opinion on the level of care needed. To do so, the MDK offices in Germany’s federal states communicate with their clients, the statutory health insurance providers, and with doctors, hospitals and the insured. The MDK offices currently use various different IT systems, either individually or in cooperation, to perform their tasks. At the same time, however, the requirements with regard to data protection, responsiveness, the division of labour and the consistency of the services provided are growing increasingly complex and demanding. Against this backdrop, the MDK member companies have decided to develop and operate common industry software. The consortium of adesso AG and HBSN AG, whose innovative concept of a flexible and modular system won over the client, was awarded the software development contract as part of a Europe-wide tender process. HBSN health business services network AG, based in Hornburg, Germany, will support adesso in its role as a subcontractor while enhancing the partnership through professional and technical expertise as well as its experience in the fields of data protection and information security. In selecting a partner to help it make its plans reality, MDK placed particular value on technological expertise and sector-specific knowledge – something adesso and HBSN have already proven in various projects in the healthcare sector.
