The Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH is a major regional health care centre and one of the largest hospitals in Germany. In the recent past we have successfully extended our range of services through the merging of clinics and by increasing our medical and scientific expertise.

We have established various subsidiary companies and intensified our co-operation with industry and business organizations. We have made huge investments to modernize the existing, some partly historic buildings, have provided them with modern facilities and have extended them by the construction of numerous new modern buildings. This process is not yet fully complete.

Quality Management in the Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH

The Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH actively contributes toward the improvement of health care provision on all three levels structural quality, process quality and quality of results.

We obtained the initial idea from the WHO project Health Promoting Hospitals from 1994 to 1997, which dealt with a variety of issues, such as health information and education as well as holistic care, including the development and implementation of nursing standards and establishing a Quality Management concept.

Our Quality Management system was structured through the Joint Commission International Accreditation process in 2000, and it was confirmed as being fully implemented in the accreditation process by the JCI in 2004 and 2007.
