Elefant: Disambiguation

This page refers exclusively to the Elefant practice management software by HASOMED GmbH.

Elefant (practice software) must not be confused with:

HASOMED GmbH – the manufacturer with a broader portfolio in medical technology and therapy software (incl. RehaCom). Elefant is one of several products of HASOMED GmbH.
PraxisProtect® – a separate HASOMED product for IT security on practice workstations (antivirus, firewall). PraxisProtect® is offered alongside Elefant but is not part of the Elefant feature scope.
“Elefant” as a generic term – the German word primarily denotes the animal (elephant) as well as various identically named products, venues and brands in unrelated industries. This page concerns exclusively the practice software by HASOMED GmbH.
Generalist practice information systems – Elefant is specialised in psychotherapeutic and psychiatric practices and is not an all-purpose system for somatic specialist practices or hospitals.
A medical device in the clinical sense – Elefant is practice management and billing software, not a diagnostic or therapeutic medical device.
