The ProDiako gGmbH (own notation: proDIAKO gGmbH until 2008: PRO | DIAKO gGmbH ) based in Rotenburg (Wümme) is a nonprofit provider of health and care services. In 2012 ProDiako merged with Agaplesion .

Until 2012, ten hospitals, seven inpatient and three outpatient care facilities as well as two rehabilitation facilities worked together in regional supply networks under the ProDiako umbrella . In 2009, 6,500 employees treated 100,000 inpatients and generated total annual sales of 370 million euros. In 2011, ProDiako achieved sales of 290 million euros with seven hospitals, two rehabilitation facilities, two inpatient and two outpatient care facilities. Every year, 70,000 inpatients are cared for in 1,800 beds.

history

ProDiako was founded in 1999 by Protestant hospital owners in Lower Saxony with the participation of the Diakonisches Werk of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover . One of ProDiako's main goals was to bundle all external activities in order to help the hospitals and care facilities involved in strengthening their respective market positions over the long term. In addition, there was an exchange of experiences in all areas of medicine, nursing and administration.

The initially loose association promoted the willingness to cooperate and the commonalities of the participating partner institutions. Initially, 13 hospitals with around 2,300 beds, two inpatient care facilities, one facility for assisted living, five outpatient care services and three rehabilitation facilities were connected. In order to achieve the most uniform company and management structure possible, the shareholders decided in 2002 to further develop the facilities under one umbrella organization. In July 2003 the ProDiako Holding was founded.

The shareholders of five Protestant hospital owners brought the operation of their hospitals with a total of around 1,700 beds and elderly care facilities into the holding company . This was about:

• Evangelical Lutheran Deaconess Mother House Rotenburg (Wümme)
• Holzminden Evangelical Hospital Foundation
• Evangelical Foundation Old and New Bethlehem in Göttingen
• Mündener hospital association in Hann. Münden
• Bethesda Foundation in Bad Pyrmont

First of all, the companies involved were outsourced to operating companies. In a second step, the shareholders assigned their shares in their operating companies to the amount of 51 percent - at the Diakoniekrankenhaus Rotenburg (Wümme) to 30 percent - to ProDiako. At the same time, ProDiako's equity was increased by the value of the transferred shares. Since January 2011 the supporter of the Diakoniekrankenhaus Rotenburg, the Deaconess Mother House Rotenburg has also held 51 percent of ProDiako.

In order to be able to provide services such as medical controlling, catering and cleaning, especially for the companies in the ProDiako group, the wholly-owned subsidiaries ProDiako Management and ProDiako Service were founded in Hanover.

On December 1, 2010, at the resolution of the ProDiako shareholders' meeting, as part of a strategy and management concept, with which, among other things, the leadership and financial strength of ProDiako is to be improved, from January 1, 2011, the deaconess parent company Rotenburg (Wümme ) into the holding company. The deaconess mother house, which is also the sponsor of the Rotenburg Diakonie Hospital (Wümme), took over the majority of the shares in ProDiako Holding with around 51 percent. On July 1, 2011, the Group's headquarters were relocated from Hanover to Rotenburg (Wümme).

Takeover by Agaplesion

On September 19, 2012, the Federal Cartel Office approved the merger between ProDiako and the health group Agaplesion , based in Frankfurt am Main .

Regional developments and partnerships

From the time the company was founded, contracts were concluded with municipal and church-run hospital owners, in which the structural (not just ownership) integration of these facilities into the ProDiako group was agreed. The activities move on three levels of action and agreement:

• Acquisition of facilities
• Ensuring the management
• Strategic partnership

In 2003, the Wittingen Municipal Hospital still participated as a cooperating facility in the ProDiako Group, but was taken over by Rhön-Klinikum in July 2005 .

As of December 30, 2003, the ProDiako group comprised 13 hospitals, including five facilities within the ProDiako Holding, with a total of 3496 beds and treated 238,000 outpatients and inpatients. The group employed 7,620 people and achieved sales of 371 million euros.

Laundry supply

On April 1, 2004, ProDiako signed a framework agreement with Sitex, the Simeonsbetriebe in Minden , on full linen supply for all hospitals and care facilities, in order to achieve cost reductions. There is a cooperation with the ProDiako laundry service (PWS).

Food supply

In July 2005, despite massive protests from the population, the clinic's own kitchen in the Evangelical Club Hospital in Hannoversch Münden was closed . Since then, some ProDiako hospitals have been supplied from the large kitchen of the University Hospital of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg . For this purpose, the patient's food is pre-cooked and shock-chilled in Magdeburg and then transported to the distribution center in the Evangelical Bathildiskrankenhaus in Bad Pyrmont. There it is portioned, arranged on plates and delivered to the facilities, where it is cooked to completion in transport trolleys at the stations, using the so-called cook and chill process.

In the Evangelical Hospital in Holzminden, ProDiako Service's own food supply with around 25 employees was discontinued at the end of 2008 and switched to the “Cook & Chill” method of the external service company CV Logistics. The hospital kitchen, which was approved in 1998 and was only newly completed in 2000, with funding from the State of Lower Saxony and construction costs of 3.4 million euros, is no longer required after the commitment period.

Cooperation in the Northeim district

In the district of Northeim , a merger of five hospitals to form the Leine-Solling Clinic with the Sertürner Hospital in Einbeck , the Evangelical Hospital in Bad Gandersheim and the Albert Schweitzer Hospital Northeim-Uslar was planned under the umbrella of ProDiako. In October 2005, ProDiako got out of its project to set up a holding company in the Northeim district due to difficulties with ownership rights of employees in public hospitals. The Einbeck hospital is now operated as a "citizens' hospital" by employees and citizens. In December 2008, the Helios Kliniken took over the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Northeim and the Evangelical Hospital in Bad Gandersheim.

Commitment in the Hildesheim and Alfeld area

With the Lambertinum senior citizens' housing complex in Hildesheim , a contract was signed for the first time in January 2005 with a provider of geriatric care (inpatient geriatric care facility, assisted living and outpatient care) to cooperate and take over management.

With the agreement of a strategic partnership, the contractual partners assure themselves that their actions will be geared towards further developing the partners' hospital locations in the sense of a networked structure in order to ensure and expand local health care. Such cooperation agreements were made at the end of 2004 / beginning of 2005 with the sponsors of the district hospital in Hameln and the St. Bernward hospital in Hildesheim.

In September 2007 it was announced that the two houses in Alfeld and Gronau, which had merged to form the Leinebergland Clinics since April 2004, were to separate again and that the former Johanniter Hospital Gronau was to be separated from the ProDiako Holding. A separation took place until the end of 2007.

Most recently, ProDiako held around 68 percent of the Alfeld hospital until the end of June 2010, while the city of Alfeld and the district of Hildesheim held the remaining 32 percent. On July 1, 2010, the Ameos clinic group took over the clinic.

Takeover in the Aller-Weser area

On January 1, 2007, ProDiako took over the management of the deficit hospitals of the Aller-Weser-Klinik (AWK) with the locations Achim and Verden an der Aller via the ProDiako management company . The strategic partnership was established in 2005 with a cooperation agreement and was also beneficial for the region around the Agaplesion Diakonieklinikum Rotenburg

Purchasing company and logistics

In January 2008, the three sponsoring companies Johanniter Purchasing Company , the Malteser Carrier Company and the ProDiako-Managementgesellschaft founded the Emimus-JMP Purchasing Company based in Hanover, thus bundling the strategic purchasing activities of all hospitals and nursing homes of the Johanniter, Malteser and ProDiakos. The transaction platform of GHX Europe has been used as a service provider for electronic data communication with industry since July 2009.

For the ProDiako clinics in Rotenburg, Hann. Münden and Holzminden, the pre-bundling of purchasing takes place via the Diako-Servicegesellschaft, a subsidiary of the deaconess parent company in Rotenburg (Wümme). On January 18, 2010, Diako Servicegesellschaft and Rhenus Eonova signed a long-term contract for cooperation in the NetLog hospital logistics project in Hanover. Since then, the ProDiako clinics in Rotenburg (Wümme), Achim and Verden have been supplied from Hanover, with further clinics to follow.

On December 31, 2011, ProDiako left the Emimus purchasing cooperation, in which it had a 25.5 percent stake, and joined Clinicpartner from Gladbeck as a member of the cooperative.

Engagement in Schaumburg and planning of a new clinic

On December 16, 2008, the decision was made to include the Bethel Hospital in Bückeburg in the Schaumburg district , including the neighboring Schaumburg Clinic, in ProDiako Holding.

The hospitals in the Schaumburger Land, the Bethel Bückeburg Hospital and the Schaumburg Clinic with its locations in Rinteln and Stadthagen will be merged into a new overall clinic with 437 beds by 2017. The new building is planned to the west of the town of Obernkirchen and south of the town of Vehlen . A citizens' initiative criticized the planning on site, as it also means that part of the Auetal conservation area will be abolished.

Management contract with Matthias-Claudius-Altenhilfe in Rotenburg

On October 1st, 2008, ProDiako signed a contract with Matthias-Claudius-Altenhilfe (MCA) in Rotenburg on the basic principles of cooperation and the takeover of management. On December 9, 2011, the managing director of MCA and the Matthias Claudius Management and Service Society, Andreas Harth, who had been in charge since 2008/09, was dismissed by the board of directors of the Matthias Claudius Altenhilfe association and the board of trustees. The official justification for this was Harth's long absence due to illness and the resulting serious deficiencies in the performance of his duties. Above all, this includes irregularities in the expense report.

Failed merger in the Holzminden district

After several years of negotiations and discussions about the merger of the two hospitals in the Holzminden district , the Evangelical Hospital Holzminden and the municipal district hospital Charlottenstift Stadtoldendorf , ProDiako declared the final failure of the merger negotiations in May 2010, as it did not provide an acceptable template for the offer made by the Holzminden district saw a merger of the two houses. With the signing of a cooperation agreement in December 2008, ProDiako took over the management of the Charlottenstift in September 2009. The district council has meanwhile spoken out in favor of selling the Charlottenstift Stadtoldendorf, including the associated medical care centers. In December 2009, the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior was talking about a new clinic building worth around 100 million euros, even after the two hospitals in the district had merged. In August 2010, the Society for Hospital Management from Ratingen took over the previously communal Charlottenstift hospital and renamed it Charlotten-Hospital. In December 2011 the GeHoMa was resold to the AWO hospital operating company from Magdeburg. In 2012 the Charlotten Hospital had to go bankrupt and ceased operations in autumn 2012.

Sale of the Hann. Münden

In 2011 there were ongoing discussions about the sale of the Hann. Münden (VKH), in which ProDiako was the majority shareholder with 51 percent and the Mündener Hospital Association to 49 percent. On January 16, 2012, ProDiako bought its shares in the Evangelical Association Hospital Hann. Münden sold to the non-profit AWO Gesundheitsdienste (GSD) of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt . At the same time, the Mündener Hospital Association also sold its shares to AWO GSD. Thus, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt is now the sole shareholder of the Evangelical Association Hospital Hann. Münden.
