Achieving process efficiency with optimized structural and organizational operations at

Klinikum Lippe, Germany

Siemens Healthineers and Klinikum Lippe GmbH (KLG) are entering into a ten-year technology partnership for all the healthcare provider’s locations. The contract covers delivery and maintenance of large imaging equipment and ultrasound units, and the partnership also includes a training concept for equipment operators, as well as consulting on optimizing the equipment fleet and operating procedures at the clinic’s hospitals. Modernizing the equipment is expected to enhance availability still further. The flexible equipment concept should enable Klinikum Lippe to get in on technological innovations early and can reduce its overall cost of procurement and maintenance over the life of the contract. The new medical systems will permit even more accurate diagnoses and therapies for patients. The partnership agreement is for a project total of about EUR 30 million.

Klinikum Lippe GmbH is a community healthcare corporation, and one of the largest municipal hospitals in Germany. It includes the Lippe Detmold Clinic in Detmold, the Lippe Lemgo Clinic in Lemgo, and the Lippe Health Center in Bad Salzuflen. The clinic is currently the academic teaching hospital of Göttingen University and is scheduled to become part of Bielefeld University’s East Westphalia-Lippe University Clinic. Its roughly 2,800 employees provide care for some 100,000 outpatients and 50,000 inpatients a year, and around 30 clinics and centers of competence at its three sites cover virtually every specialty.
