Elisabeth-Krankenhaus

What Elisabeth-Krankenhaus does

Elisabeth-Krankenhaus is a Catholic specialist hospital (Fachkrankenhaus) headquartered at Cranger Straße 226 in Gelsenkirchen-Erle, Germany, operating under the umbrella of KERN Katholische Einrichtungen Ruhrgebiet Nord GmbH. The facility maintains 223 beds across two clinical departments: the Klinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, led by Dr. med. Astrid Rudel, and the Klinik für Akutgeriatrie und Frührehabilitation (acute geriatrics and early rehabilitation), led by Dr. med. Mario Reisen-Statz. The hospital also operates a Psychiatrische Institutsambulanz (including gerontopsychiatric and trauma arms), a day-clinic, and a 24/7 psychiatric emergency service covering inpatient, day-clinic, and outpatient pathways. The institution has operated for over 100 years and contributes to clinical training through academic affiliations with Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Universität Duisburg-Essen, as well as dual nursing degree pathways with FOM Hochschule and Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein-Westfalen.

The hospital's core technology stack is conventional: a Dedalus Orbis hospital information system (KIS) for patient records and clinical/administrative workflows, Cookiebot for website consent management, and the B-Ite applicant tracking system for HR. No proprietary digital products, AI capabilities, or APIs are disclosed. Patients enter exclusively through clinical channels — physician referrals (Hausärzte, Fachärzte), emergency self-presentations, and transfers from other hospitals — with no consumer-facing e-commerce or self-serve motion.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through German statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurance reimbursements under the DRG/InEK framework and the Krankenhausentgeltgesetz, supplemented by statutory co-payments (up to €28/day) and Wahlleistungen such as single/double rooms and attending-physician treatment. Patient segmentation is primarily use-case driven: psychiatric/psychotherapeutic cases, acute geriatric and early-rehabilitation patients, and gerontopsychiatric outpatients. Financial figures are not publicly disclosed, which is typical for a German Catholic, non-listed gGmbH within a parent network.

Revenue model

1. Patient Treatment Revenue (GKV/PKV): As a hospital operating under German healthcare regulations, the primary revenue stream is reimbursements from statutory health insurance (GKV — Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) and private health insurance (PKV — Private Krankenversicherung) for inpatient, outpatient, and day-clinic treatment services. Revenue is generated through Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) for inpatient care, and lump-sum / fee-for-service payments for outpatient treatments, both governed by the InEK (Institut für das Entgeltsystem im Krankenhaus) framework. No freemium, subscription, or transaction-fee models are present.

Elisabeth-Krankenhaus contributes to teaching in psychiatry and geriatrics as part of this affiliation.
• Universität Duisburg-EssencoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe KERN hospital network maintains an academic teaching relationship with the Universität Duisburg-Essen.

Direct peers

• LVR-Klinik Langenfeld: LVR-Klinik Langenfeld is a large psychiatric hospital in the Ruhr/Niederrhein region operated by the Landschaftsverband Rheinland. It provides comparable inpatient, day-clinic, and outpatient psychiatric services including addiction treatment, making it the closest publicly-operated German Fachkrankenhaus für Psychiatrie peer.
• LWL-Klinikum Gütersloh: A psychiatric and psychosomatic hospital operated by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe. Comparable as a specialist psychiatric provider with day-clinic and PIA outpatient structures and academic teaching roles for Westphalian medical faculties.
• Alexianer GmbH: Catholic hospital and care operator running multiple psychiatric and geriatric facilities across Germany. Comparable network peer due to shared Catholic-ownership model, psychiatric focus, and regional multi-site structure that resembles KERN's positioning relative to Elisabeth-Krankenhaus.
• St. Augustinus Gelsenkirchen GmbH: Parent-level Catholic healthcare network in the lower Rhine region that is organizationally linked to KERN GmbH. Provides comparable psychiatric, geriatric, and addiction services across multiple sites, making it the most direct ownership-model and service-mix peer.
• Katholisches Klinikum Bochum: Catholic hospital network in the Ruhr area offering psychiatry and geriatrics alongside general services. Comparable as a confessional, multi-site Ruhr hospital operator with academic teaching affiliations and a similar GKV/PKV reimbursement model.

Broad incumbents

• Asklepios Kliniken GmbH & Co. KGaA: Major German private hospital group operating psychiatric and geriatric departments across numerous sites. Overlaps with Elisabeth-Krankenhaus on specialty service lines and DRG/PEPP exposure but at much greater national scale.
• Sana Kliniken AG: Private German hospital group with significant psychiatric and geriatric service offerings. Comparable as a diversified hospital operator competing for the same regional GKV/PKV patient pool and physician-recruitment funnel.
• Helios Kliniken GmbH: Germany's largest private hospital operator with multiple inpatient psychiatry and geriatrics sites. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping specialty services within a larger diversified portfolio, though operating on a private-for-profit rather than Catholic-non-profit model.

Regional players

• BG Universitätsklinikum Bergmannsheil Bochum: Ruhr-area academic hospital operating as RUB's Lehrkrankenhaus with adjacent psychiatric and rehabilitation services. Comparable as a regional academic referral partner competing for similar patient populations and PJ-student recruitment.
• Universitätsklinikum Essen: Academic teaching hospital of Universität Duisburg-Essen in the immediate Ruhr catchment. Comparable as a regional academic provider hosting psychiatry and geriatrics teaching and serving overlapping referral populations, though Elisabeth-Krankenhaus acts as a teaching affiliate rather than direct competitor.
