Dorner Health IT Solutions

What Dorner Health IT Solutions does

Dorner Health IT Solutions GmbH is a German-headquartered healthcare IT specialist focused on laboratory information systems (LIS/LIMS) and adjacent clinical software for the DACH market. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Müllheim with a branch in Münchenstein, Switzerland, the company serves hospitals, university medical centers, research institutes, fertility clinics, and correctional health authorities. Named deployments include LabDia at St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute (Vienna), the University Children's Hospital Zurich, the Canton of Bern Office of Corrections, and Universitätsmedizin Mannheim, supported by 10,000+ active workstations.

The product portfolio is anchored by the DORNER Workflow Engine, a low-code platform composed of 600+ modules, on top of which vertical LIS/LIMS offerings are built, including Genetics LIMS, Hygiene LIMS, Forensics LIMS, the DORNER Fertility Center suite, and a family of branded modules ([X/Lab], [B/Lab], [M/Lab], [K/Lab], [A/Lab]). Complementary products include i/med Billing (KBV-certified ambulatory billing) and EPA Electronic Patient Records for correctional healthcare. Recent releases (HaemoBank HL7 interface, Order Entry integration, Digital Pathology workflows) indicate an active product cadence focused on interoperability and adjacent clinical segments.

The company operates as a subsidiary of GSG GENII Software Group, a PE-backed platform (Bregal Unternehmerkapital and Elvaston) reporting approximately €400M in group turnover and around 2,800 employees, which provides both capital backing and an indirect route to cross-sell across the GENII healthcare vertical. Dorner states 70+ specialists, while third-party firmographic data lists 11–50 employees; the gap suggests the higher figure is more representative of the deployed team. Revenue is generated through software licensing, implementation services, and recurring support for an installed base that spans both large institutional anchors and a long tail of mid-sized laboratories.
