University Medical Center Göttingen Takes a New Approach to the Use of Clinical Data

UMG is advancing its data integration center and becomes the first German university hospital to introduce MDClone's internationally established ADAMS model.

Göttingen, Germany and BEER-SHEVA, Israel, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) is the first hospital in Germany and the European Union to introduce MDClone's ADAMS platform. The platform will build on UMG's existing data integration center, UMG-MeDIC, making the clinical data already consolidated there easier and more secure to use for research, patient care, and quality management.

In doing so, UMG adopts ADAMS by MDClone, a data utilization model already in use at leading international healthcare institutions such as UChicago Medicine, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, and Sheba Medical Center.

"With ADAMS, we are the first university medical center in Germany and the EU to adopt an internationally proven model of data utilization. Our aim is to make our data infrastructure even more accessible to our staff," says Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Brück, Chairman of the Executive Board, Executive Board Member for Research and Teaching, and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University Medical Center Göttingen. "Particularly in an increasingly challenging economic environment, innovation is becoming a decisive factor for the future viability of hospitals. Data can help us better understand care processes, identify areas for improvement, and advance medical quality and economic efficiency together on a data-driven basis."

With ADAMS, authorized staff will be able to explore longitudinal clinical data independently within a controlled and secure framework and investigate questions without relying on central IT or analytics resources for every analysis. The goal is to make data available more quickly for research questions, the further development of treatment pathways, quality improvement, and the analysis of clinical processes.

Synthetic Data for Faster Research Projects and Stronger Data Protection

Another focus is on synthetic data. Based on real clinical data, the ADAMS platform can generate synthetic datasets that reflect the statistical properties of the original data without sharing real patient records. This opens up additional opportunities for research, for the development and testing of AI applications, and for collaboration with other scientific institutions and external partners.

"With the Medical Informatics Initiative, Germany has created a strong foundation for the use of clinical data. The task now is to generate as much value as possible from this infrastructure for research and patient care," says Bruno Lempernesse, CEO of MDClone. "Internationally, we see healthcare systems moving from merely providing data toward active, organization-wide data utilization. The University Medical Center Göttingen is now the first institution in Germany and the EU to take this path."

UMG-MeDIC was established as part of the nationwide Medical Informatics Initiative (MII). With ADAMS, UMG is systematically advancing this existing infrastructure and adding a utilization layer for research, patient care, and quality management. This is intended to ensure that the investments made have a lasting impact beyond individual funding periods.

About the University Medical Center Göttingen

The University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) unites the Faculty of Medicine of the Georg-August-University and the University Hospital under one roof in an integrated model. Alongside research, teaching, and transfer, patient care is one of UMG's core responsibilities.

As the only tertiary care provider in southern Lower Saxony, the hospital has approximately 1,700 inpatient and day-patient beds. All basic medical disciplines are represented, as well as a wide range of specialized disciplines in diagnostics and therapy. Each year, UMG treats around 55,000 inpatients and approximately 280,000 outpatients.

With nearly 9,800 employees, UMG and its subsidiaries are among the largest employers in the region. Around 60 clinics, institutes, and departments stand for high-quality patient care, excellent research, modern teaching, and innovative technology transfer.
