Austria's largest religious hospital network with surgical centers and clinical IT modernization
Klinikum Wels-Grieskirchen operates two major hospital campuses in Upper Austria with 1,227 beds, serving a regional population of roughly 400,000 across four administrative districts. The tech stack is predominantly SAP + Microsoft 365 + Citrix, with HL7 for healthcare interoperability and Da Vinci robotic surgery systems in use. Active projects signal a digitization push: clinical information system customization, Windows lifecycle management, and migration to Microsoft 365 cloud services, while simultaneous quality-management system updates (ISO 9001:2015) suggest operational standardization across a complex multi-specialty environment.
