Read in the case study about the Value Partnership with Alb Fils Kliniken, Germany. Learn about the various challenges that the healthcare provider had to face and find out how partnering with Siemens Healthineers helped them overcome these hurdles.
The Alb Fils Kliniken is a maximum-care hospital with two facilities, in Goeppingen and Geislingen that provides health services for about 35,000 inpatients and 140,000 outpatients per year. In 2014, the dual-site hospital entered into a long-term Value Partnership to optimize the management of its ultrasound systems across medical departments and to increase clinical capabilities.
