HCI Solutions is a leader in the field of IT for the health care sector. By providing personalised medication solutions, the company creates added value for the Swiss health care system and makes a significant contribution to improving safety for patients when it comes to medication.

“Our digital products enable us to play a meaningful role in the digitalisation of the Swiss health care system. Patient safety is the number one priority in our solutions”, says Julian Sgier, Head of Business Integration at HCI Solutions.

Developing software for the health care sector is a discipline in itself. HCI Solutions understands software manufacturers’ complex requirements and specific needs and helps them to overcome the challenges inherent in the Swiss health care system more easily by providing innovative and adaptable solutions. Specifically, HCI Solutions delivers the following:

  • Integration: a modern interface concept and modular web components make it easy to integrate into existing systems.
  • Ease and efficiency: HCI Solutions’ products are available as “software as a service” and based on established standards and exchange formats such as SNOMED-CT or FHIR.
  • Data: Comprehensive medication data that is updated daily as well as services for finding, prescribing, dispensing and billing medications
  • Support and security: Professional support in the implementation and development of the software in accordance with ISO-9001 and ISO-13485.

In its capacity as a technology partner, HCI Solutions provides the Compassana healthcare ecosystem with a wide range of software solutions for medication – including the comprehensive reference database for medicines called Documedis. This helps to cross-reference and depict medications. Not only is this beneficial for patients who want to order new medicines, but also for service providers, who know at a glance which medication is required. And another software package developed by HCI Solutions makes it possible to provide package inserts in digital form. This enables patients to access additional information on medications with just one click within the Compassana app. It also supports the eMediplan for medication management in the Compassana app. This means that patients do not need to go to the trouble of entering their medication into the Compassana app manually but can simply scan the QR code of the eMediplan.

The partnership between HCI Solutions and Compassana stands out for being proactive and constructive and has played a major role in the success of the “Compassana patient app” and the “Compassana Med Cockpit” service for health care providers.
