Caritas-Krankenhaus

What Caritas-Krankenhaus does

Caritas-Krankenhaus Bad Mergentheim is a Klinik der Schwerpunktversorgung (specialized care hospital) founded in 1949 and located in Bad Mergentheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It operates 12 specialized clinical departments — including orthopedics and trauma surgery, neurology, general surgery, cardiology, gynecology/obstetrics, pediatrics, and emergency medicine — alongside a network of certified competence centers covering endoprosthetics (maximum care), regional trauma, stroke, breast care, oncology, intestinal, prostate, vascular, nephrology, hypertension, and geriatrics. The hospital is an Akademisches Lehrkrankenhaus affiliated with the University of Würzburg, supporting full neurology training authorization (48 months) and a chief-physician roster that includes an Extraordinary Professor of JMU Würzburg. Throughput indicators include approximately 1,700 neurology inpatients, more than 1,000 neurology outpatients, around 2,800 orthopedic inpatients, and roughly 15,000 orthopedic outpatients annually.

Underlying technology is conventional clinical infrastructure — diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, digital radiography), catheterization lab capability, modern surgical equipment, and certified stroke, trauma, and endoprosthetics workflows — augmented by digital patient portals (BerLinux Solutions) and secure patient-doctor communication (medflex). The hospital is part of the BBT-Gruppe (Barmherzige Brüder Trier), a Catholic non-profit healthcare conglomerate, alongside affiliated regional facilities including Krankenhaus Tauberbischofsheim, Hohenloher Krankenhaus, and multiple wholly-owned MVZs (medical care centers).

Revenue is generated through reimbursement under the German DRG system from statutory (GKV) and private health insurers for inpatient and outpatient care, with additional revenue from Wahlleistungen (optional services such as single/double rooms). The hospital also operates a Parent School (Elternschule) offering prenatal and postnatal education as a consumer-facing service. Customers are the general regional population served through emergency walk-ins, physician referrals, and scheduled appointments across the Tauberfranken-Hohenlohe catchment.
