Enabling the exchange of information in healthcare, based on standards – this is the aim of TianiSPIRIT. The User Group of the Austrian-based software specialist organizes the exchange of expertise and experiences in this field at an international level. From 1 to 7 May 2012, TianiSPIRIT Global User Group (TGUG) e.V. invites members and anybody interested in these activities to participate in two top-notch events in Germany and Austria – www.tgug.org.
Exchanging experiences and communicating expertise to enhance daily routine; an internal update on the activities of the user group, and networking – these elements are pivotal to the “Intercontinental Executive Exchange Workshop” and the “Global Summit” of TGUG in 2012. Both target, on the one hand, the top and middle management of hospitals, physicians networks, payors, and healthcare policymakers in countries and regions that use the TianiSPIRIT EHR (Electronic Health Record). On the other hand, top and middle management is addressed by the TianiSPIRIT consultancy, implementation, service, and data center partners. It is the core aim to present how HIE can be realized with optimum support for critical enterprise processes and at minimum cost.
The Global Summit takes a broad view, offering a perfect platform for all those who wish to get a grasp of which hospital, region, etc. draws which benefits for the hospital enterprise, region, etc. from the use of TianiSPIRIT solutions, which future steps are planned, and when they will be realized.
The Intercontinental Executive Exchange, with its workshop format, takes an in-depth look: it addresses its audience with a clear focus on establishing an international exchange of experiences regarding critical enterprise processes and structures among customers of the TianiSPIRIT EHR. Dates and locations of these upcoming events are as follows:

• May 1–4, 2012, Stuttgart/Germany;
• May 7, 2012, Vienna-Baden/Austria.
