Evangelisches Krankenhaus

What Evangelisches Krankenhaus does

Evangelisches Krankenhaus Wien is a private non-profit hospital (gemeinnützige Betriebsgesellschaft m.b.H.) operating from Hans-Sachs-Gasse 10-12 in Vienna's 18th district (Währing), founded in 1901 by the Association for the Protestant Deaconess Cause in Vienna under Reverend Paul von Zimmermann. The current modern facility opened in March 1991 with 180 beds and was expanded to 284 beds following the April 2001 extension. The hospital employs more than 600 staff across medical, nursing, administrative, and support functions, making it the largest employer in the district, and is owned by the Evangelischer Krankenhausverein Wien. Service lines span six inpatient departments — Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Orthopedics, and a Day Clinic — supplemented by multiple specialized outpatient clinics (surgical, vascular, head and neck, gastrointestinal, oncology, rheumatism, thyroid, and vein center), diagnostic imaging via the integrated Diagnosehaus 18, and laboratory medicine via Synlab.

The hospital operates a Belegarzt (doctor of choice) referral model in which patients are admitted exclusively through their attending physician, who reserves beds via the hospital's OR and bed planning department and performs procedures using hospital infrastructure. Revenue is generated through charges for inpatient and outpatient services across standard ward, single, and double-room (special class) tiers — pricing is quote-based and dependent on the treatment plan — with private supplementary insurance often covering special-class costs. Additional revenue comes from tax-deductible donations routed through a Raiffeisenlandesbank NÖ-Wien account. Doctor fees are negotiated directly between patient and attending physician, and the hospital accepts patients regardless of religion or worldview per its founding mission.

Technology and clinical differentiation rest on ISO 9001:2015-certified key areas (central OR and recovery/IMCU), the AMA 'Gut zu Wissen' food quality certification, and the first-in-Austria deployment of high-tech 3D shoulder navigation (2020), SynergyID surgical projection (2021), robotic-assisted knee surgery (featured May 2026), sono-elastography (2019), intermittent pneumatic compression (2019), and a tissue-sparing minimally invasive hip approach developed by Prim. Prof. Dr. Gerald Pflüger (2003). The hospital layers pastoral/spiritual care, an on-site kindergarten for employees and community, an in-house Medical Education Academy, and a Patient Ombudsstelle onto the core clinical services, operationalizing its Protestant heritage as a holistic care brand.
