Klinikum Region Hannover

What Klinikum Region Hannover does

Klinikum Region Hannover GmbH (KRH) is a municipal hospital group headquartered in Hannover, Germany, wholly owned by Region Hannover. Established in 2005, KRH operates one of the largest public hospital networks in Germany with 9 hospitals (7 acute-care and 2 psychiatric facilities), 72 clinics and institutes, approximately 150 stations, nearly 40 operating rooms, 7 emergency departments and 3,400 beds. The group treats approximately 105,000 inpatients and over 140,000 outpatients annually and employs over 9,000 staff under the TVöD-K public-sector compensation framework. Supporting the clinical operations are wholly-owned subsidiaries including KRH Akademie (training ~500 nursing trainees per year), KRH Labore (central diagnostics), KRH Geriatrie Langenhagen, KRH Psychiatrie GmbH and KRH Servicegesellschaft.

The underlying technology stack is conventional hospital IT — SAP for ERP and PPP-RL (Psychiatrie-Personalverordnung) controlling, HR4YOU for applicant management, Google Analytics for web tracking, LinkedIn Recruiter for active sourcing, Usercentrics for GDPR consent and standard patient management systems — with no proprietary AI or digital-health platform disclosed. KRH Psychiatrie Wunstorf functions as an academic teaching hospital of Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH), providing research and training integration, and the network holds certifications including DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, TÜV Rheinland and CLARCERT clinical certification.

KRH generates revenue through the German statutory (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) and private health insurance reimbursement system for inpatient, outpatient, emergency, surgical and psychiatric services delivered through its regional network. Its GTM motion is direct-to-consumer healthcare delivery (referrals, ED arrivals, self-referred outpatient visits) plus direct employer-branded recruitment via karriere.krh.de. The group is currently implementing its Medizinstrategie 2030, which consolidates the Klinikum Nordstadt into a new KRH Klinikum Mitte at the Siloah site to create a centralized maximum-care facility, under the leadership of managing directors Dr. Georgia Borttscheller (HR), Dr. med. Matthias Bracht (Medicine) and Dipl.-Kff. Barbara Schulte (Finance and Infrastructure).
