Health Information Management (HIM)

What Health Information Management (HIM) does

Health Information Management GmbH (HIM) is a German healthcare software vendor founded in 1995 and headquartered in Bad Homburg. The company develops and sells QCare PDMS, an electronic patient data management system that provides paperless clinical documentation across the full hospital continuum of care, from the emergency department through anaesthesia, ICU, intermediate care, and general wards. The platform is delivered as a core PDMS plus six integrated modules — QCare EMERGENCY, QCare ANAESTHESIA, QCare ICU, QCare NURSING, QCare e-MEDICATION, and QCare MOBILE — and is engineered for deep interoperability with hospital information systems, medical devices (patient monitors, ventilators, anaesthesia machines, infusion pumps), and Oracle-based reporting infrastructure.

QCare PDMS is regulated as a Class IIa medical device under MDD 93/42/EWG Annex II and EU Regulation 2017/745 (MDR), and HIM holds EN ISO 13485:2016/A11:2021 quality certification valid through mid-2028. The company monetizes the platform through annual subscription licensing of enterprise software plus implementation services, targeting acute-care hospitals and university clinics. Customers are sold primarily via direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a network of country-specific distribution partners in Belgium, Ireland, Turkey, South Africa, and Romania; the company also cooperates with CompuGroup Medical (CGM) for HIS integration in the German market. The installed base comprises 40+ hospitals across nine European and adjacent countries, including 7 university clinics, with several customer relationships spanning more than two decades — most notably UCL Saint-Luc in Brussels, where QCare was first implemented in 1995.

Core offering

Health Information Management GmbH develops and sells QCare PDMS, an electronic workflow-based Patient Data Management System that replaces paper-based clinical documentation across the hospital continuum of care, from emergency department through anaesthesia, ICU, IMC, and general wards. The platform consists of a core PDMS plus specialized modules (Emergency, Anaesthesia, ICU, Nursing, e-Medication, Mobile) that interoperate with Hospital Information Systems, medical devices, and Oracle reporting databases, and is delivered as licensed enterprise software with implementation, configuration, and support services to hospitals and clinics.

Product overview

Health Information Management GmbH (HIM) offers QCare PDMS as a unified clinical information system platform. The product portfolio comprises a core PDMS (Patient Data Management System) platform integrated with six specialized modules: QCare EMERGENCY (emergency department documentation with Manchester triage), QCare ANAESTHESIA (peri-operative documentation including premedication and PACU), QCare ICU (intensive care documentation with TISS and SAPS scoring), QCare NURSING (general ward documentation with PKMS and EWS support), QCare e-MEDICATION (medication order and administration management), and QCare MOBILE (tablet-based browser solution for point-of-care access). The modules can be deployed independently in specific departments or work together as an integrated Continuum of Care solution spanning from emergency admission through to general wards. QCare was first implemented in 1995 at University Hospital St-Luc in Brussels and has been developed continuously for over 20 years.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• iMDsoft: Israel-based vendor of the MetaVision ICU PDMS, the most direct clinical-functional analogue to QCare's ICU module. Both firms target tertiary hospitals with Class II/equivalent regulated, device-integrated critical care documentation platforms.
• Dedalus Group: Large European healthcare IT group whose clinical information systems (formerly part of Agfa HealthCare/DXS) compete head-to-head with QCare for hospital PDMS and anaesthesia/ICU contracts across DACH, Italy, and France.
• ChipSoft: Netherlands-based HIS/EPD vendor whose HiX platform bundles clinical modules with hospital-wide functionality, competing with QCare for integrated clinical documentation deals in Benelux and surrounding markets.
• Picis (Optum): Now part of Optum, Picis provides perioperative and critical care clinical documentation solutions (including anaesthesia and ICU) that overlap directly with QCare's Anaesthesia and ICU modules in European hospitals.

Broad incumbents

• Dräger: German manufacturer of ICU patient monitors, ventilators and anaesthesia machines that increasingly bundles clinical information software, making it both a partner-data source and adjacent competitor to QCare's device-integrated PDMS.
• Philips (IntelliSpace Critical Care & Anaesthesia): Royal Philips' clinical informatics portfolio includes ICU and anaesthesia documentation tied to its patient monitors — same buyer (hospital IT/ICU leadership) and overlapping scope with QCare's PDMS modules.
• GE HealthCare (Centricity Critical Care): Sells Centricity Critical Care and broader hospital digital offerings; competes with QCare for anaesthesia/ICU documentation budgets at larger European tertiary hospitals.

Others

• CompuGroup Medical (CGM): HIM's named co-development partner for the Marienkrankenhaus Siegen ICU/OR deployment; CGM also operates competing HIS suites that can either complement or substitute for QCare depending on tender scope.
