AI documentation and CGM MEDISTAR: the route from the conversation to the record
There is no interface between KiPT Voice and CGM MEDISTAR — only copy and paste. The draft is created alongside the conversation, you review and shorten it, and then carry the part that belongs in the record over into the free-text field of MEDISTAR. Nothing changes about the documentation duty: what ends up in the record remains your responsibility.

How the reviewed draft gets into CGM MEDISTAR
The process is deliberately unremarkable: conversation, draft, review, mark, copy, paste into MEDISTAR. You see the complete text before anything reaches the record, and you decide section by section what is carried over.
Because only text moves, your MEDISTAR installation stays untouched — even in an environment with several sites or branch practices, where an additional system component would mean coordinating with the system house.
What CGM MEDISTAR is built for
CompuGroup Medical names general practice for CGM MEDISTAR, plus a large number of further specialties as well as MVZ centres and group practices (accessed on 4 September 2026). That is a very varied appointment landscape within a single system.
For the decision, that is useful: review the draft against the two or three appointment types that actually create follow-up work for you, not against the short routine check-up.
What CompuGroup Medical itself publishes
On the MEDISTAR product page, the vendor describes the DokuAssistent with the line "AI writes along during the consultation – findings are produced in real time" and additionally names an AI telephone assistant (accessed on 4 September 2026). On data handling, the same page states generally that patient data is "stored exclusively in German and European data centres"; this sentence is not explicitly tied to the AI feature on the page.
This exact ambiguity is why the question of processing location splits into two parts: where does the audio recording stay, and where does the text go? With KiPT Voice, the recording stays on the practice computer; only transcript text reaches the configured provider or a locally set-up model.

What the practice should clarify before a pilot
The technical questions are answered quickly with this route. The questions that remain concern the workflow within the team — and they should be answered before the first real appointment, not after.
- Which field in MEDISTAR is the target, and does that apply the same way for everyone treating patients?
- How do you reliably get into the correct record in your workflow before pasting?
- Does your environment have a system-house requirement for additional software on the practice computer?
- What does the system vendor state in writing about the processing location and storage of its own AI feature?
- How do you document that a draft was reviewed before it was carried over?
Frequently asked questions
Is anything installed in CGM MEDISTAR for KiPT Voice?
No. The draft is copied and pasted into a free-text field; nothing about MEDISTAR itself is changed.
Does this also work across several sites?
The copy-and-paste route is tied to the workstation where recording and review happen, not to the server environment. What the practice needs to set is who records on which computer.
What does CompuGroup Medical itself say about data handling?
The MEDISTAR product page states that patient data is stored exclusively in German and European data centres (accessed on 4 September 2026). The sentence is not explicitly tied to the AI feature there; ask the vendor for this in writing.
