The Kantonsspital Baden (KSB) is a hospital in Baden in the canton of Aargau . It has been in the Dättwil district since 1978 , near the A1 access road to Baden-West. The canton hospital is a stock corporation owned by the canton of Aargau and has over 2,200 employees. It goes back to a foundation of Queen Agnes of Hungary in the middle of the 14th century.
organization
The Baden Cantonal Hospital is a public hospital for all insurance classes under the Health Insurance Act and for self-payers. It is organized as a stock company . All shares are owned by the Canton of Aargau.
The KSB is divided into nine departments. The medical area includes the departments of surgery, internal medicine, nursing, medical services, women and children as well as anesthesia and intensive care medicine. The interdisciplinary emergency center specializes in rescue and emergencies. There are also eight interdisciplinary medical centers (obesity, exercise, breast, bladder and pelvic floor, intestinal, vascular and tumor center).
With the Limmatfeld Medical Center, KSB opened a walk-in practice in Dietikon in 2015 . The former district hospital in Brugg also belongs to KSB . Apart from its current main function as a nursing home, it is also the location for various outpatient treatments. In addition to radiology , oncology and hematology , dialysis and nephrology, this also includes surgical interventions. There is close scientific cooperation with the University Hospital Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute. In the area of teaching and research, the KSB also works with the ETH Zurich. Their medicine course, which was launched in autumn 2017, started at KSB.
statistics
In the 2017 financial year, 19,533 inpatients were treated, an increase of 0.1 percent compared to 2016. The average length of stay was 5.9 days. The Case Mix Index reached 0.987 and, as in the previous year, increased again massively. This is an indication that more medically demanding cases have tended to be treated. The bed occupancy rate was 84.4 percent, which puts KSB above the Swiss average. Over 110,000 patients were registered in the outpatient sector. In financial year 2017, the KSB generated an operating income of 354.5 million francs. The EBITDA was 38.7 million Swiss francs, the EBITDA margin of 10.9%. This makes KSB the only hospital company that has consistently achieved the targets set by the canton of Aargau (EBITDA margin of at least 10%) since the new hospital financing came into effect in 2012.
With over 2,200 employees, KSB is one of the largest employers in Ostaargau. The economic benefit of hospital operations is around 800 million francs per year.
New buildings
cube
The KSB Kubus day clinic went into operation in August 2016 . The cost of the new building amounted to 42 million francs. The KSB is thus complying with the political principle of “outpatient before inpatient”. A linear accelerator is installed in the KSA-KSB radio-oncology center on the ground floor , which allows treatments based on the latest findings in radiation therapy . Dialysis is also carried out in the nephrology department on the second floor of the cube .
Partner house
As a second stage in the gradual modernization of the KSB, the partner house was opened in spring 2018. In the new building planned by the architects Itten and Brechbühl, various examination and treatment units will be combined in a single building in order to improve treatment synergies and processes. The building consists of seven floors, four of which are used for clinic offices and examination rooms. The private RehaClinic AG from Bad Zurzach is housed on the top two floors . On the third floor you will find Balgrist PartnerOrtho, the leading manufacturer of orthopedic aids. The Aargau Lung League and the Aargau Psychiatric Services have opened branches on the first floor. For this purpose, various outpatient departments and the Caffè Orizzonte are housed in the KSB partner house.
Agnes new building
Since the main building less and less meets the requirements of modern medicine, the KSB is planning a new building estimated at 450 million francs. The groundbreaking is planned for August 31, 2018, and move-in is planned for 2022. Then the old hospital building is to be demolished. The originally planned renovation of the main wing was dropped in 2010, as this would have cost the same as a new building, which would have made the hospital operations more complicated.
Six projects were shortlisted for the new building; the most convincing was the “Agnes” design by architects Nickl + Partner from Zurich . The project name "Agnes" pays homage to Agnes of Hungary , the daughter of King Albrecht, who was murdered near Windisch in 1308 and whose widow donated the Königsfelden monastery in his memory .
Although above-average growth in demand is expected for Baden, the new hospital building will only expand capacity slightly from around 370 to around 400 beds today. This also takes into account the fact that the average length of stay in hospital has fallen significantly in recent years and that the principle of "outpatient before inpatient" is being enforced.
The new building has a modular character, which on the one hand enables flexible extensions and on the other hand allows individual parts of the building to be renewed independently of the rest of the hospital complex.
history
Agnes of Hungary , widow of the Hungarian king Andreas III. and daughter of the German King Albrecht I founded the Agness Hospital named after her in the city of Baden in 1349. It was located opposite the Catholic parish church and at the same time served as a hospital for the poor. Agnes' brother, Duke Albrecht II , granted the hospital tax exemption in 1354.
The hospital received income from numerous donations, such as B. the parishes of Göslikon , Fislisbach , Rohrdorf (with Bellikon , Niederrohrdorf , Oberrohrdorf and Stetten ) and Steinmaur (with Stadel , Windlach , Fisibach and Dielsdorf ). Over time, contrary to the purpose of the foundation, the hospital turned into a retirement asylum that was only affordable for wealthy city residents. The poor and sick were deported to the infirmary on the road to Wettingen .
The Agness Hospital in Baden's old town was demolished in 1863. In 1888 the city council decided to convert the infirmary into a hospital (patients with infectious diseases were placed in the governor's palace ). The hospital soon no longer met the growing needs. For this reason, the municipality decided in 1909 to build a new city hospital on Wettingerstrasse. The electrical engineering company Brown, Boveri & Cie. took over a sixth of the construction costs. The two-story building opened on August 1, 1912.
Over time, the Baden City Hospital took on more and more tasks. It could not keep up with the rapid population growth from the 1950s and increasingly had to contend with capacity bottlenecks. With the Hospital Act of 1964, the Grand Council created the basis for the creation of a second cantonal hospital in Aargau. The plan was to build a new building in Dättwil with 580 beds to remedy the chronic lack of space.
After the project had been scaled down to 400 beds, the groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 6, 1972. As a plant “on the green field”, the new cantonal hospital was a pilot operation in many respects, as the operational processes could be combined in a single building. It was put into operation on September 1, 1978. The old Baden city hospital had been closed a month earlier; the premises have since served as a nursing home.
