Solutions / Hospitals
Set the stage now for a future where you have full control over the data in your hospital.
vitagroup’s HIP Clinical Data Repository (HIP CDR) is a central data storage platform that separates your data from applications. It enables you to use your data in all systems – regardless of vendor – without the need for conversion. Create the optimal conditions for the digital transformation of your hospital with the HIP CDR.
The HIP CDR stores data separately from applications. Easily replace your solutions as needed and integrate best-of-breed applications.
Deliver the data needed for all solutions and use cases — existing and new — without additional, complex interfaces.
New policy and technology challenges are a constant. With the HIP CDR, you can react flexibly and cost-effectively to anything that comes your way.
Ensure you meet all interoperability requirements. The HIP CDR allows you to easily comply with international technical, syntactic, and semantic standards.
Why persist with interfaces that are very costly to maintain? With a central, interoperable data repository, you can finally say goodbye to this problem.
To produce reliable analysis results, and thereby control and improve the quality of your medical processes, a standardised database is a must.
Eligible for subsidies covering up to 100% of costs under the KHZG
With the HIP CDR, you are ideally prepared to meet all interoperability requirements and provisions contained in the German Hospital Future Act (KHZG) and internationally recognised norms. In addition, you can comply directly with stipulations in respect of, for example, the ISiK hospital information system standard, telematics infrastructure connection, and Health IT Interoperability Governance Ordinance, while creating the perfect conditions for all future digitalisation projects.
The HIP CDR in action
The St. Antonius Hospital in Cologne was one of the first institutions of its kind in Germany to take the next step in digitalisation as early as March 2023. The hospital is using vitagroup’s HIP CDR to store health data centrally—regardless of vendor or system.
The Dillingen and Wertingen regional hospitals are using the HIP CDR to create interoperable, complete, and quality-assured patient records for improved and more efficient patient care.
The Marienhaus Group opted for the HIP CDR in April 2023. The group of companies includes 15 hospitals in North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Saarland.
In order to strengthen its research and teaching activities locally, nationally, and internationally, the University Hospitals of the Ruhr University of Bochum syndicate set itself the goal of building medical research data infrastructure that will enable straightforward data sharing in accordance with privacy laws. The HIP CDR is the backbone of this project.

In the future, the HIP CDR will be the backbone of all projects under our digitalisation strategy. We plan to store our data primarily in the CDR so that it will be available to all other systems as needed. Ultimately, we will gain complete data sovereignty and make ourselves independent of individual vendors, especially in the area of HIS applications.

Thanks to the vendor-independent, highly structured central data repository, we can now centrally access health information from different systems and select and integrate new digital solutions as needed. (…) With the HIP CDR, our clinical staff always have all the important data from different systems at their disposal.

Thanks to the open, highly structured, and standardised data repository, you finally have the power to act in your digitalisation projects for your KHZG implementations and all other future undertakings. The HIP CDR gives you the flexibility to meet all requirements cost-effectively. The interoperable, open data storage allows you to design processes to work across systems for a flexible, cost-effective, and forward-looking approach. Your patients are sure to appreciate the continuous improvements to your digital services.
There are already thousands of ways in which digitalisation can improve healthcare, and every day there are more. But all of them require the availability of high-quality structured health data. Without this, you simply do not have the building blocks needed for clinical decision support, artificial intelligence in diagnostics, and process automation. With the HIP CDR, you can take advantage of highly structured data and use technologies that will bring about a lasting improvement in your healthcare delivery.
The HIP CDR increases the availability and usability of your health data so that your staff have access to all relevant information at any time — regardless of vendor or system. This lightens the load for your hospital’s care staff, managers, and IT department, to the benefit of your patients.
The HIP CDR easily integrates into your existing system landscape. Based on open standards and interfaces, it serves as the foundation for all current and future processes and applications in your digital ecosystem. The HIP CDR itself is also vendor-independent thanks to its standard technologies and open-source core. Change is a constant — whether in terms of policy, technology, or strategy. Our solution grows with you, so that you can respond flexibly and as needs dictate at all times.

From the end of 2025, patients of 12 hospitals in the German state of Saarland will be able to virtually exchange data and information with their hospital via a joint patient portal. The patient portal is provided by our partner PLANFOX and is based on vitagroup’s Health Intelligence Platform.
St. Antonius Krankenhaus Köln startet Initiative zur herstellerunabhängigen Digitalisierung mit dem HIP CDR der vitagroup.
Mit den Milliarden aus dem Krankenhauszukunftsgesetz (KHZG) sollen Krankenhäuser in Deutschland digital aufholen. Bedarf gibt es vor allem bei digitaler Dokumentation und Patientenservices. Doch wie gelingt die erfolgreiche Digitalisierung im deutschen Krankenhaus und wie lassen sich die Muss-Kriterien des KHZGs fristgerecht umsetzen? Hier finden Sie essenzielle Tipps.
Als Vorreiter für die herstellerunabhängige Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen begleitet die vitagroup derzeit mehrere deutsche und internationale zukunftsweisende Projekte. Die immer weiter steigende Nachfrage nach der Technologie und dem Know-how der vitagroup zeigt: Immer mehr KundInnen befreien sich aus der Herstellerabhängigkeit.
Die große Koalition hat das Krankenhauszukunftsgesetz beschlossen. Mit insgesamt 4,3 Milliarden Euro werden ab 2021 Digitalisierungsprojekte für Krankenhäuser gefördert.
