University-Hospital Gießen/Marburg

A long time has passed since the first hospital was established in Marburg by Saint Elisabeth nearly 800 years ago. Scientific medicine started in Marburg with the establishment of the world’s oldest Protestant University in 1527 by Landgraf Philip the Noble, and as early as 1788 one of Germany’s oldest maternity hospitals was established here. At the end of the 19th century a range of new clinics and institutes were opened. One of these was opened by Emil von Behring who received the first Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1901 for his discovery of the healing serum for tetanus and diphtheria.

In 2005 the Marburg University Clinic was merged with the Gießen University Clinic to form the Gießen and Marburg University Clinic; this was privatised in 2006 and the majority of the shares were taken over by Rhön Klinikum AG.

Universitätsklinikum Gießen und Marburg GmbH, Marburg location is a hospital that provides maximum care; in 2005 it had 1,207 beds.

As a result of the ongoing development of medical IT, the existing equipment in the central OP department with its original 13 operating theatres was no longer up to date. Therefore in 2004 a decision was taken to renew the systems.

The requirements covered the use of a screen with an integrated, ventilation-free PC system and Intel Pentium processor, as well as the use of individual, common, standard, commercial components that were available in high numbers.

By transferring the Womens and Childrens Clinic to the newly created Mother-Child Centre and the related expansion of the central operating area by 5 additional operating theatres in 2006, a need arose to purchase additional computer systems.

With the positive experiences in implementing the requirements in 2004 the hospital again focused on the expertise of MeDiSol. This time the follow-on generation VIEWMEDIC VARIO was selected.

A further nine VIEWMEDIC VARIO 19C systems found their way into the central operating department of the Universitätsklinikums Gießen und Marburg GmbH, Marburg location as a result of the unique, high performance and flexible VARIO CONCEPT.

"The results and our experience to date with the VIEWMEDIC systems installed by the company Rein EDV have been extraordinarily good."
