ICdoc® is extended with a new interface, which enables the
system to capture the “billable individual medical services”
for each day and transmit them automatically to the hospital information
service for further settlement.
New score in ICdoc®: SAPS3.
2005
The intensive care bed management system RIBM© (Rettung
Intensiv Betten Management) is completed and delivered to the
Vienna Hospital Association and the Vienna Ambulance Service.

about free beds available at intensive care units of Viennese
hospitals over a Web surface and use the Web to make this information
available to the central office of the Vienna Ambulance Service
for further use.
As of October, Dr. Christian Sekerka represents the company as
its sole managing director.
Büll informatik discontinues the distribution and support
of proALPHA®. All operations in this field are handed over

2004
New interface for ICdoc®: from now on all data relevant
to the performance-oriented hospital financing system can be automatically
reported to the hospital information system for further settlement.
This interface was developed for the hospital information system
of the Vienna Hospital Association and for all hospitals working
with SAP®¬-IS-H.

interface based on HL7 for the transfer of demographic data to
ICdoc®.

Mobile order picking of goods for proALPHA®: this additional
functionality enables the acknowledgement of stock withdrawals
in proALPHA® by means of a portable bar code scanner. All
current picking lists including the necessary requirements are
displayed for the selected order picking area. Each article removed
from its place of storage is verified by reading in its bar code.
In case of deviations in quantity, the quantity actually removed
can be entered manually. By confirming the data that have been
entered the withdrawal is automatically posted to proALPHA®
and the next requirement on the selected picking list is displayed.
Hence, material supply planning is always based on current stock
data and necessary orders are initiated in due time. Moreover,
the number of documents in circulation can be significantly reduced
and warehouse staff can be supported in the performance of their
tasks.
2003
ICdoc® becomes UNC compatible and supports all modern Windows
operating systems. From now on, it is no longer necessary to install
the application on individual workstations. It can be installed
centrally on a server and can be called up by several clients.
The ICdoc® infection documentation function is completely
revised and adjusted to the European HELIX standard.
Mobile data collection for proALPHA®: This additional functionality
enables the acknowledgement of material slips or the confirmation
of time data in proALPHA® by means of a portable bar code
scanner. The order notes are captured by scanning the bar code
of the relevant material or job ticket, complemented with quantity
and time data and automatically posted to proALPHA®. The mobile
capturing of operational data allows a considerable reduction
of the effort needed to acquire confirmation data. At the same
time, the on-line posting of data ensures the timeliness of stock
and confirmation data.

supervision of ASDI, the participating intensive care units are
compared with regard to their performance. The data are centrally
analysed and sent to the participating units. 13 Austrian intensive
care units participate in this first comparison. At that time,

2000”. In the meantime, the name of this multicentric study
has been changed to “ASDI Benchmarking Project“.
