Katholisches Krankenhaus "St. Johann Nepomuk" Erfurt

What Katholisches Krankenhaus "St. Johann Nepomuk" Erfurt does

Katholisches Krankenhaus "St. Johann Nepomuk" Erfurt is a Catholic non-profit regional intermediate-care hospital (Krankenhaus der regionalen intermediären Versorgung) located in Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia, Germany. Founded in 1735 and operated by Katholische Hospitalvereinigung Thüringen gGmbH, the hospital moves into its modern campus in August 2003 and is structured around eight clinical departments — general/visceral/thoracic/vascular surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care, gynecology and obstetrics, internal medicine/gastroenterology, internal medicine/cardiology, psychiatry/psychotherapy/psychosomatics, trauma surgery/orthopedics/spine therapy, and urology/pediatric urology — plus a fully digitized Institute for Diagnostic Imaging. The hospital operates more than 420 beds, treats approximately 44,000 patients per year (around 18,000 inpatient and semi-inpatient cases and over 26,000 outpatient cases), and runs an Emergency Department handling more than 24,000 treatments annually. Notable clinical technology includes DaVinci robotic-assisted surgery, MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy, thulium and holmium laser systems, two 24-hour cardiac catheterization labs, a 68-slice multislice CT, MRI, DSA, and a high-volume endoscopy suite performing over 8,000 diagnostic and interventional procedures per year. The hospital holds multiple certified centers, including Chest Pain Unit, Heart Failure Unit, EndoProthetikZentrum, Uro-Oncological Center, Visceral Oncology Center, Metabolic Center, and a Competence Centre for Obesity and Metabolic Surgery, alongside a regional trauma center designation (VAV/BG-approved).

The hospital is an academic teaching hospital (Akademisches Lehrkrankenhaus) of Universitätsklinikum Jena and operates under the Caritas umbrella, following the AVR-Caritas collective agreement and church labor law. Revenue is generated entirely through patient care services billed under the German Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) system via statutory (GKV) and private health insurance (PKV) payors — there is no subscription, software, or non-clinical revenue model. The hospital extends its reach into ambulatory care through a network of outpatient medical care centers (Medizinische Versorgungszentren, MVZ) in Erfurt (Kaffeetrichter), Weimar, Lengenfeld unterm Stein, and Diedorf, offering general medicine, urology, gynecology, orthopedics, and rehabilitative medicine. Workforce is approximately 1,100 employees, supported by an in-house nursing school (Pflegeschule) and dual study partnerships with three German universities (Berufsakademie Plauen, Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena, Duale Hochschule Gera-Eisenach). The hospital's go-to-market is direct to consumer: patients access services via emergency, general practitioner referrals, and scheduled admissions, with marketing primarily institutional and employer-brand focused through its careers website, Facebook, and YouTube channels.
