Efficiency Potential through Process & Organisational Optimisation

Waste instead of supply: The German healthcare in 2025.

Only every third minute really counts.

While clinics are fighting for their existence and staff are working to the limit, patients only spend 35-45% of their clinic time actually being treated. The rest? Waiting, transport, idle.

The numbers from our DACH study 2025 are clear: 40% of clinics are in the red. At the same time, surgical teams waste an average of 52 minutes changing rooms - while best practice hospitals do it in 28 minutes. The difference? Almost a complete operation per day. Per hall.

The problem is known. Why doesn't anything change?

70% of all change projects in healthcare fail. Not because of a lack of will. Not because of a lack of concepts. But in terms of implementation: lack of team involvement, unclear priorities, lack of commitment.

This study shows for the first time in the DACH region where the greatest levers lie - and how successful clinics actually use them. With concrete numbers from 147 hospitals, 23 MVZ and 8 rehabilitation facilities.

You will find in it:

  • Benchmarks for operating room, ward and administrative processes
  • Root Cause Analysis: Why Change Projects Fail (and What Works)
  • Practical examples from clinics that operate profitably despite budget pressure
  • Quick-win measures with ROI calculation
