The Ordensklinikum Linz was created on January 1st, 2017 as a merger of two hospitals that had previously been run separately, the Hospital of the Elisabethinen Linz and the Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy Linz . This was announced in April 2016.
The hospital belongs to 50% each of the Vinzenz group ( Barmherzige Schwestern Wien-Gumpendorf ) and the Elisabeth von Thüringen GmbH (EvTH, Elisabethinen Linz-Vienna). With a total of 3,500 employees (a good 2,800 full-time equivalents ) and over 1,100 beds , it will be the third largest hospital in Upper Austria, after the Kepler University Hospital (1,800 beds) and the Wels-Grieskirchen Clinic (1,200), ahead of the Salzkammergut Clinic (1,050), the According to LKF points (performance-oriented hospital financing), it will provide almost a sixth of the medical service in the state (17%) in the future: the two hospitals currently treat a good 76,000 inpatients per year and perform almost 22,000 operations.
founding
It was assumed that the merger was a reaction to the large-scale merger of the Kepler University Clinic (AKH Linz, Landesnervenklinik Wagner Jauregg , Landesfrauen- und Kinderklinik) to form the second largest institution in Austria at the end of 2015.The operators denied that there was no competition, but cooperation with the Johannes Kepler University and the Kepler Clinic , the main reason is the synergy: Both religious hospitals have a similar care profile, but hardly any overlap in their medical focuses. In addition to state politics, the merger was welcomed by the Barmherzigen Brothers Linz , who, as direct neighbors of the Vice Sisters , can now strengthen the cooperation - a merger had previously only failed due to the internal company structure - now also with the Elisabethinen. The strategic alliance between Elisabethinen and the national sponsor, espag, is to be continued and expanded. The Wels-Grieskirchen Clinic, also a religious hospital of the Sisters of Mercy, was merged in 2008, as was the Salzkammergut Clinic (Bad Ischl, Gmunden, Vöcklabruck) of the state hospitals (spag), which is now operated in cooperation with the Elisabethinen.
