Training days above the roofs of Ulm
Our second training days under pandemic conditions and more participants than ever before - no problem at all with a little organizational skill and compliance with hygiene requirements. Quite the contrary. We are pleased about the great interest in our products and innovations and attach great importance to the intensive exchange with our customers. That's why our annual training days are among our most important events, and we wouldn't want to miss them under any circumstances.
Once again, the two days were filled with a wealth of information about our latest developments and enhancements. For example, our Order Entry was presented to the participants in an intensive hands-on training. In addition, the focus was on the innovations around the LabMessenger. Furthermore, our new statistics module was presented with the help of clear examples, before a small foretaste of our future development projects was given at the end. In between we could let our eyes wander over the roofs of Ulm and enjoy the view of the Ulm Cathedral.
After this intensive workshop, of course, a little diversion was not to be missed and what could be better than a short ride? The historic streetcar took all participants on a tour of discovery through the beautiful city of Ulm, and then the evening was brought to a rounded conclusion with good food and pleasant conversation.
We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all participants for their trust and their contribution to two successful training days. It was nice that you were with us. We are already looking forward to next year.

Einstein Marathon 2021 - We were there!
The first weekend in October started in the same way and continued in an extremely sporty manner.
With the Ulm Einstein Marathon, a small but fine running team from the Bucher Group took on the next challenge. Despite tired legs from the Allgäu Team Challenge the day before, our sporty colleagues gave their all and put in a brilliant performance at the Liqui Moly City Run over a distance of 10 km along the Danube. All members successfully crossed the finish line and could rightly be very proud of themselves. We certainly are.
Great performance, you jocks!

Allgäu Team Challenge 2021
It's no secret that we in the Bucher Group have a certain soft spot for the mountains. So there couldn't have been a better setting than the Allgäu for our teambuilding this year. Early in the morning, we took the coach to Oberstaufen, where we were greeted by bright sunshine and late summer temperatures, as well as the team from the Jürgen Koch Activity Center.
We started with a hearty snack to fortify ourselves for the team challenge that followed. And that was quite a challenge : divided into groups, we had to master various tasks and stations together, which challenged our team spirit and sportsmanship in equal measure. Everyone got their money's worth - whether it was a daredevil quad course, stick shooting or tree trunk sawing. The whole thing was rounded off by a GPS-guided hike through the picturesque area around Oberstaufen, where all teams made it back to the finish line in the end - albeit sometimes via detours. Afterwards, it was time to gather strength and give everything at the human kicker tournament, which was mostly fair and impressively showed that our team also has some real soccer talents. Finally, we were able to refuel our reserves at a brilliant Allgäu BBQ before we started our journey home to Ulm.
A big thank you goes out to the team of the Aktivzentrum Jürgen Koch and especially to our colleague Corinna, who organized the wonderful day for us and thought of everything. We are already looking forward to the next Challenge.

Patient communication - providing findings online
Waiting for a laboratory result can sometimes be nerve-wracking for patients. It is often necessary to call the practice to find out the test results. If the telephone lines in the practice are also permanently busy, a lot of patience is required.
With the QuickPAT document portal, you can offer your patients the option of conveniently retrieving findings online. Any other type of document can also be provided digitally, such as medication plans or special certificates. The corresponding document can be viewed, downloaded or printed directly - without having to come to the practice. All that is required is the date of birth and the personal identification number, which is generated by the respective laboratory. The online portal gives the patient access to his or her documents at any time and from anywhere - whether via PC or smartphone.
If you want to learn more, just contact us and we will show you how you can offer your patients an attractive added value.

Corona Pool Tests for Schools
Since the end of the summer vacations, several German states have switched to corona pool testing at daycare centers and schools, in which all children in a group or class are tested together with just one PCR test. We support laboratories in implementing these group tests safely and quickly.
As a rule, the pool tests run as follows: Schools are provided with barcode and QR code label sheets and the test material by the laboratory. After sampling in the respective group or class, all swabs are collected in a pool tube. This is provided with a barcode so that a clear allocation is ensured. The responsible teacher or educator scans the corresponding QR code with his or her cell phone and is automatically redirected to a web form. This form is already filled out and only needs to be completed with the name of the school and the respective class. In this way, the lab order is activated.
After evaluation of the test pools in the laboratory, the results will be reported to the:school's Corona Officer. If the test results are negative, no further action is required. In the case of a positive pool test, retesting of the children from this group is arranged - but this is done individually and in the child's home environment. For this purpose, parents receive labels with a barcode and a QR code in addition to the swab material. After the test has been performed, this code is stuck onto the test tube and scanned in order to be automatically forwarded to the website for data entry. Here, the child's data as well as an email address and, if applicable, a cell phone number are entered to activate the lab order. Once the test result is available, parents and teachers are conveniently informed by e-mail or, if desired, by text message.
Pool tests are a good method for reliably and cost-effectively detecting corona infections. In addition, they are usually well accepted by children, as the tests are usually performed as so-called lollipop tests. With our solution, such pool tests can be implemented easily and safely, even on a large scale. If you are interested in our software solution, please contact us.

Käpsele 2021
Being called a "Käpsele" is probably one of the nicest compliments you can get in Swabian. In Swabia, being a Käpsele means having a lot on your mind. Reason enough, therefore, to reward special achievements with a prize bearing precisely this name.
At Bertha-von-Suttner-Gymnasium, with which we have been partners for many years, there are many bright minds. Some of them were able to complete their school careers last week and receive their school-leaving certificates. The best among them received special awards for their achievements.
The donors of these awards include private individuals as well as companies from the region. Since mathematics plays a major role in a software company like ours, it was clear to us that we would take on the award for the best exam results in this subject. And since we also have a great soft spot for Swabian, the name of the prize was almost obvious.
The Käpsele Prize for the best high school graduates in mathematics went to Juri Langer and Jonas Herrmann. This was the first time that two winners were honored with this prize for their outstanding achievements. We are happy about so much brains and wish the graduates all the best for the future.

QuickPAT - Patient communication made easy
The pandemic has shown how important digital communication solutions are for patients. Optimal communication creates satisfaction, saves time, and is thus an important building block for everyday medical work. With QuickPAT, we have now developed a tool for your patient communication. It consists of two modules: Via the appointment booking, patients can make their appointments online and via the document portal they can retrieve documents digitally.
You can use the appointment booking module for any type of appointment and configure it according to your own wishes - whether it is a regular consultation appointment, Covid test or vaccination appointment. Online appointment booking saves a lot of time and ensures trouble-free practice processes - this is particularly important in the current situation, where Corona vaccinations are increasingly being made the responsibility of GPs*. But the module can also be optimally used for other scenarios.
The administration of the module is very simple. You can configure the appointment booking form individually and define which appointments and times should be available for selection, add exceptions or adapt the design to your corporate design. You can also define which fields are mandatory and be flexible in the selection of bookable times. Thus, it is possible to store special and blocked times as well as to assign time slots more than once. Different appointment types can also be defined and the duration required for each can be specified. The duration of the bookable time slot is displayed to the patient in the booking screen. If there are multiple locations, such as MVZs or practice branches, this can also be taken into account when booking appointments and set accordingly.
In addition to booking appointments, QuickPAT offers the possibility via the document portal, to make all types of documents available online. Whether findings, medication plans or special certificates - offer your patients the convenient option of simply viewing, downloading and printing personal documents in digital form without having to visit the practice. This saves time and money and offers your patients attractive added value.
By the way: Both functions are available to your patients web-based, so they can access them at any time - whether via PC or smartphone.
If you'd like to learn more, just contact us and we'll show you how to optimize your patient communications with QuickPAT.

QuickTEST - New functions for positive test results
If a Corona rapid test is positive at the test center, it must in any case be verified by a PCR test in the laboratory. In addition, the test center is obliged to report the positive test result to the relevant health authority. QuickTEST supports testing facilities in fulfilling this obligation - quickly and easily.
With QuickTEST, a follow-up order for further PCR testing can be created for each positive rapid test result and sent to the laboratory. The sample required for this is already stored in the system, certified by the KV and can be printed directly. This means that pharmacies and other institutions can also order PCR tests.
QuickTEST can also be used to conveniently process the obligatory report to the public health department. If a positive test result is recorded, the program automatically generates a notification form and stores all the necessary data. The responsible health office is also automatically determined and stored. As soon as the positive result is saved, the report form is printed. All positive cases can also be exported with a single click and sent to the health authority as a list.
If you want to know more about the features of QuickTEST, just contact us.
