Logo until 2020

The Vienna Health Association ( Wiener Krankenanstaltenverbund until 2020 ) has been a company of the City of Vienna since January 1, 2002, the organizational merger of all city hospitals , nursing homes and training locations for nursing staff in the City of Vienna . These have not been managed by a municipal department since then, but the KAV is still part of the City of Vienna's municipal administration and is subordinate to its Health and Social Affairs business group. In terms of urban politics, the complete separation from the magistrate and the appropriate new legal form has been discussed since around 2015. In December 2019, the Vienna City Council decided to change the statutes, and the new name concept was implemented in the first half of 2020.

task

The association has the task of providing medical, nursing and psychological care to sick people and those in need of care in Vienna. In order to fulfill this task, the KAV manages the hospitals and nursing homes of the City of Vienna as well as other facilities that directly serve the operation of these hospitals and nursing homes.

Legal Status

The Viennese health network was the council created the City of Vienna as a company in accordance with § 71 of the city charter by a Regulation; it is not a private company under the law applicable to companies. The above-mentioned institutions were not spun off from the magistrate, but set up in it as a separate institution alongside the existing magistrate departments, without organizing it under corporate law like private companies. The assets allocated to the KAV are managed separately from the other assets of the City of Vienna, but the KAV does not have its own legal personality, but acts on behalf of the City of Vienna. The employees of the KAV are employees of the City of Vienna, the budget of the KAV is to be decided by the municipal council.

The Vienna Hospital Association is divided into the General Directorate and

  • the hospitals of the city of Vienna,
  • the sub-enterprise General Hospital of the City of Vienna - University Clinics (in these clinics the federal government, represented by the Ministry of Science, is the financing partner of the City of Vienna.)
  • the sub-enterprise geriatric centers and nursing homes of the city of Vienna with social medical care,
  • other facilities that serve the management of the hospitals as well as the geriatric centers and nursing homes of the City of Vienna.

The Vienna City Council has the right to divide the KAV into further sub-companies or to change the organizational form if necessary. Twelve hospitals, eleven nursing homes, one nursing home and 13 specialist educational institutions are currently managed.

Financial management

The last business plan available on the KAV website for 2006 shows sales of € 1.8 billion, earnings from ordinary activities of € –63 million and investments of € 185 million. Personnel expenses were calculated at € 1.5 billion, and the municipal council decided on the total budget at € 2.73 billion.

The hospital association has to provide reasonable reimbursement for services provided by municipal departments . Services that the Vienna Hospital Association has provided for other departments in the City of Vienna must be offset against these in an appropriate amount.
