Common strength: Uni-Klinikum Brandenburg and Havelland Clinics intensify cooperation!

In a pioneering decision, the University Hospital Brandenburg an der Havel and the Havelland Clinics have expanded their cooperation. Like Ärzteblatt reported, five new agreements were made on specialized medical performance groups. This comprehensive cooperation shows that both institutions have a good hand for the challenges of modern medical care.

The new contracts include the following important departments:

• complex gastroenterology
• complex nephrology
• leukemia and lymphomas
• complex peripheral arterial vascular diseases
• neurosurgery

In the existing cooperation, plastic surgery and obesity treatment are firmly anchored. Gabriele Wolter, the managing director of the university clinic, emphasizes that these new agreements pave the way for reliable coexistence. Thilo Spychalski, Managing Director of the Havelland Kliniken, also sees a welcome opportunity in these cooperation, especially in the context of the current hospital structure reform, which in Meetingpoint Brandenburg is discussed.

The importance of hospital reform

The joint agreements are above all a reaction to the new structural requirements of the hospital reform of the Federal Ministry of Health. These changes request, as can be read on Solidaris , an adaptation to specialization requirements and minimum quantities. The focus is on a closer exchange and the division of labor.

The cooperation aims to improve patient safety and treatment quality and to offer specialized offers close to home. The new structures officially come into force on June 1st and those responsible for both clinics are confident that they will successfully meet the requirements of the reform.

annual supply figures

The dimensions of the two institutions are impressive: the University Hospital Brandenburg is a real player in the region and supplies around 26,000 inpatient and 48,000 outpatient patients in 16 specialist clinics every year. On the other hand, the Havelland clinics, which deal with their locations in Nauen and Rathenow around 16,500 inpatient and 37,500 outpatient patients in ten specialist clinics.

The Clinic location Nauen has also established itself as an academic teaching hospital of the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, while the Rathenow location should in future belong to the Brandenburg Medical University. This close attachment to scientific institutions underlines the importance of clinical care in the region.
