Fresenius Helios has started publishing daily figures on the occupancy rate for intensive care beds in its 86 German hospitals. The website of each hospital will report the number of COVID-19 patients in the hospital’s regular and intensive care wards. It will also publish figures from the Robert Koch Institute, Germany’s national health agency, on the number of new infections in the surrounding region. Helios’ goal is to increase transparency and facilitate a data-based assessment of the pandemic at the local level. Helios Germany currently has a total of 1,300 intensive care beds across the country and could add an additional 1,000 on short notice, in the event of a sharp increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations.

As part of its reporting on quality standards, Fresenius Helios is publishing data on the length of patient stays, patient security and antibiotic use in the company’s German hospitals for the first time. Data from every Helios hospital is compiled in a total of 46 quality categories, including the frequency of surgical interventions and their results, and then published annually. The comparing of different hospitals’ statistics through the Quality Medicine Initiative yields specific, concrete improvements that can be implemented in day-to-day hospital operations. The initiative, which was jointly founded by Fresenius Helios, now includes more than 400 hospitals in Germany and Switzerland.

The price increase for hospital services in Germany has been set at 2.53% for 2021. As it is subject to negotiations at the state level as well as individual hospital discounts, the final price increase on the individual hospital level will, however, be lower.
