STUDY
Waste instead of care: The German healthcare system in 2025.
Only every third minute truly counts.
While clinics fight for their existence and staff work at their limits, patients spend only 35–45% of their hospital time actually receiving treatment. The rest? Waiting, transport, and downtime.
The figures from our 2025 DACH study are clear: 40% of clinics are in the red. At the same time, surgical teams waste an average of 52 minutes during room turnovers—while best-practice facilities manage it in 28 minutes. The difference? Almost one full surgery per day. Per operating room.
The problem is well known.Why is nothing changing?
70% of all change projects in healthcare fail. Not due to a lack of will. Not due to a lack of concepts. But due to implementation: insufficient team involvement, unclear priorities, and a lack of commitment.
For the first time, this study shows where the greatest levers lie for the DACH region—and how successful clinics actually utilize them. Featuring concrete data from 147 hospitals, 23 medical care centers (MVZ), and 8 rehabilitation facilities.
Inside you will find:
- Benchmarks for OR, ward, and administrative processes
- Root cause analysis: Why change projects fail (and what works)
- Case studies from clinics that remain profitable despite budget pressures
- Quick-win measures with ROI calculations
