CompuGroup Medical Deutschland AG (CGM) has been installing the necessary components for testing the new applications in the Telematics Infrastructure (TI) since this week. Immediately after installation, the service providers involved were able to start testing the applications Emergency Data Management (Notfalldatenmanagement, NFDM), Electronic Medication Plan (eMP), and Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) in doctor's offices and pharmacies using the KoCoBoxMED+ e-health connector. 74 doctor’s practices, one KVWL emergency practice, 15 pharmacies (8 CGM LAUER), and one hospital in the Westphalia-Lippe region have been equipped with the necessary components for participation in the field test since March 02, 2020. These include the e-health connector KoCoBox MED+ and an update for the respective primary systems of the participating institutions. The installation work is carried out by specially trained and certified technicians of CompuGroup Medical Deutschland AG (CGM). The testing of the new medical applications takes place in close cooperation between CompuGroup Medical, the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians of Westphalia- Lippe (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Westfalen-Lippe, KVWL), the Pharmacy Chamber of CompuGroup Medical Deutschland AG · Maria Trost 25 · 56070 Koblenz · T +49 (0) 261 8000-0 · F +49 (0) 261 8000-100 · www.cgm.com/de Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Frank Gotthardt ∙ Vorstand: Dr. Ralph Körfgen, Dr. Eckart Pech Sitz der Gesellschaft: Koblenz, Handelsregister Nr.

The functionality and interoperability of the e-health connector is to be proven in the field test by using it in a real care environment. In the participating doctor's offices, the pharmacies, and the clinic, predefined use cases are carried out for this. For the NFDM application, these include, for example, the creation, updating, and deletion of emergency data records, but also the creation of personal declarations, such as a reference to the existence and location of an organ donor card. Use cases for the eMP include the creation, updating, and deletion of the medication plan. Each participating service provider can start testing the new applications immediately after having installed the required components. "We are very pleased that the commitment and efforts of the past months are now paying off and that testing the new medical applications can now begin," says Dr. Eckart Pech, board member for Consumer and Health Management Information Systems at CompuGroup Medical. "The successful completion of the field test is a prerequisite for gematik's approval of the e-health connector for productive operation. Once this approval has been obtained, there is nothing to hinder a nationwide rollout of the new applications." All facilities which have already been connected to the TI via KoCoBox MED+ will then receive the new functionalities via a software upgrade. A hardware exchange is not necessary. Eckart Pech also emphasizes the successful collaboration with the cooperation partners during the preparation: "We would like to thank the colleagues from PHARMATECHNIK and InterData for their active and competent support. Only together could we set the necessary course so that the field test can now begin in the doctor's offices, pharmacies, and clinics." Besides the ambulatory information systems CGM ALBIS and CGM MEDISTAR, the hospital information system CGM CLINICAL, and the WINAPO® systems of CGM LAUER, the IXOS system of PHARMATECHNIK and InterData are also involved in the field test.

  • North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India
    Page 1 of 13 Consulate General of India Frankfurt *** General and Bilateral Brief- North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India North Rhine-Westphalia, commonly shortened to NRW is the most populous state of Germany, with a population of approximately 18 million, and the fourth largest by area. It was formed in 1946 as a merger of the provinces of North Rhine and Westphalia, both formerly parts of Prussia, and the Free State of Lippe. Its capital is Düsseldorf; the largest city is Cologne. Four of Germany's ten largest cities—Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, and Essen— are located within the state, as well as the second largest metropolitan area on the European continent, Rhine-Ruhr. NRW is a very diverse state, with vibrant business centers, bustling cities and peaceful natural landscapes. The state is home to one of the strongest industrial regions in the world and offers one of the most vibrant cultural landscapes in Europe. Salient Features 1. Geography: The state covers an area of 34,083 km2 and shares borders with Belgium in the southwest and the Netherlands in the west and northwest. It has borders with the German states of Lower Saxony to the north and northeast, Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and Hesse to the southeast. Thinking of North Rhine-Westphalia also means thinking of the big rivers, of the grassland, the forests, the lakes that stretch between the Eifel hills and the Teutoburg Forest range. The most important rivers flowing at least partially through North Rhine-Westphalia include: the Rhine, the Ruhr, the Ems, the Lippe, and the Weser.

  • Anthropogenic Organic Contaminants in Sediments of the Lippe River, Germany Alexander Kronimus*, Jan Schwarzbauer, Larissa Dsikowitzky, Sabine Heim, Ralf Littke
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Water Research 38 (2004) 3473–3484 Anthropogenic organic contaminants in sediments of the Lippe river, Germany Alexander Kronimus*, Jan Schwarzbauer, Larissa Dsikowitzky, Sabine Heim, Ralf Littke Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of Petroleum and Coal, RWTH Aachen University, Lochnerstrasse 4-20, D-52056 Aachen, Germany Received 13 August 2003; received in revised form 27 January2004; accepted 8 April 2004 Abstract Sediment samples of the Lippe river (Germany) taken between August 1999 and March 2001 were investigated by GC–MS-analyses. These analyses were performed as non-target-screening approaches in order to identify a wide range of anthropogenic organic contaminants. Unknown contaminants like 3,6-dichlorocarbazole and bis(4-octylphenyl) amine as well as anthropogenic molecular marker compounds were selected for quantification. The obtained qualitative and quantitative analytical results were interpreted in order to visualize the anthropogenic contamination of the Lippe river including spatial distribution, input effects and time dependent occurrence. Anthropogenic molecular markers derived from municipal sources like polycyclic musks, 4-oxoisophorone and methyltriclosan as well as from agricultural sources (hexachlorobenzene) were gathered. In addition molecular markers derived from effluents of three different industrial branches, e.g. halogenated organics, tetrachlorobenzyltoluenes and tetrabutyltin, were identified. While municipal and agricultural contaminations were ubiquitous and diffusive, industrial emission

  • The Rhine River Crossings by Barry W
    The Rhine River Crossings by Barry W. Fowle Each of the Allied army groups had made plans for the Rhine crossings. The emphasis of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) planning was in the north where the Canadians and British of Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery's 21st Army Group were to be the first across, followed by the Ninth United States Army, also under Montgomery. Once Montgomery crossed, the rest of the American armies to the south, 12th Army Group under General Omar N. Bradley and 6th Army Group under General Jacob L. Devers, would cross. On 7 March 1945, all that Slegburg changed.

  • Flüsse in NRW Wasserstraßen Durchs Land
    Flüsse in NRW Wasserstraßen durchs Land Die Reihe "Alle Augen Auf..." lenkt dieses Mal den Fokus auf Flüsse in Nordrhein-Westfalen und beantwortet unter anderem folgende Fragen: Hat die Weser eigentlich eine Quelle? Woher kommt der Name "Ruhr"? Und ist der Rhein wirklich der längste Fluss in NRW? Menschen aus Nordrhein-Westfalen erzählen interessante, unterhaltende und spannende Geschichten über "ihren" Fluss. Lippe - 220 km Wer hat's gewusst? Nicht der Rhein, sondern die Lippe ist der längste Fluss in Nordrhein-Westfalen! Die Quelle entspringt in Bad Lippspringe, fließt dann auf 220 Kilometern durch NRW, bis sie sich bei Wesel mit dem Rhein vereint. Die Entstehung des Flusses umgibt eine Sage: Der nordische Gott Odin soll ein Auge geopfert haben, um dem trockenen Gebiet am Fuße des Teutoburger Waldes Leben zu schenken. Odins Auge - so wird die Quelle der Lippe deswegen auch genannt. Schon die Römer zog es an die Lippe und sie nutzten das Wasser, um ihre Güter zu transportieren. Und so ist die Römerroute entlang der Lippe eine weitere Besonderheit. Lange Zeit war die Wasserqualität der Lippe eher mäßig. In den 60er Jahren wurde daher künstlicher Sauerstoff in den Fluß gepumpt. Eine reichlich aufwändige Sache und nur von kurzem Erfolg. Langfristig heißt das Zauberwort "Renaturierung". Das bedeutet konkret: das Wasser zu säubern und den Fluss wieder mit seinen natürlichen Auen zu umgeben. Pate : Ulrich Detering arbeitet in Lippstadt als Wasserbauingenieur. Obwohl er gebürtig von der Weser kommt, ist er ein leidenschaftlicher Lippstädter und liebt das "Venedig Westfalens".

  • Multimedia-Documentation of the Coal Mines in the Ruhr District
    Multimedia Documentation of the Coal-Mines in the Ruhr District Prof. Dr. Juergen M. Dodt Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany [email protected] Dipl.-Geogr. Martina Drecker Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany [email protected] Abstract So far the complex history of coal-mining in the Ruhr District has been documented in (a wide variety of) books and papers only – with all the disadvantages of this traditional form of documentation. This poster briefly recalls the particular problems and requirements of documenting coal-mining in the Ruhr District; and it presents the basic concept of a new multimedia documentation, including the content of its basic modules. Finally, some major aspects of practical realisation are discussed. 1 Introduction For two centuries and more the Ruhr District has been Germany’s most important industrial region, and despite the decline of its traditional industries it still ranks as one of the country’s economically leading metropolitan areas. It is the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr agglomeration in North Rhine Westphalia, extending over approx.130 km from west to east and some 30 to 35 km from south to north, and covering an area of about 4,600 km2 (= Ruhr Regional Planning Authority) between the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Emscher, Lippe, and across the Rhine (cf. fig.1). Figure 1: Location of the Ruhr District Figure 2: Generalized geological section through the Ruhr coal-field The economic development and the regional structural differentiation of the Ruhr District have mainly been determined by the particular geological structure of the Ruhr coal-field (cf.

Introduction This supplement contains additional information to support the descriptions and explanations in the main manuscript. We include the parameter values resulting from the calibration procedure. We show metrics for both the calibration and validation period in all subbasins used in this study. Additionally, we explain how evaporation and snow variables responded to each 5 incremental temperature increase, as we focus only on the most extreme case in the main manuscript. Text S1, dS2 calibration results Calibration from the 1250 Latin Hypercube sampling resulted in the following parameters (note that the three g(Q) parameters are defined as a function of slope): α = 0:002472φ − 3:725; (1) 10 β = 0:06915φ + 0:2666; (2) γ = 0:0316φ − 0:1622; (3) = 1:196 [−]; (4) ◦ −1 −1 dffsnow = 3:207 [mm C day ]; (5) ◦ −1 −1 dffglacier = 5:523 [mm C day ]; (6) 15 where α, β, and γ are the three g(Q) parameters, φ represents the terrain slope in degrees, represents the the evaporation correction factor, and ddf represents the degree factor for snow and glaciers, respectively. The slope is based on Jarvis et al. (2008), and is calculated at the original resolution of ±80 m.
