Hospital management in mandate

The hospital environment is becoming more challenging for owners and managers. We have a solution for you: the management contract. In long-term hospital management, we stabilize your facility and make it future-proof.

Management with the necessary sensitivity

Professional hospital management is becoming increasingly important in times of growing deficits and greater economic challenges. In view of the increasingly difficult conditions for financing a high-quality medical infrastructure, it is clear that special experience and competencies are expected of the management. These include, for example, tact and sensitivity in dealing with internal and external medical service providers as well as implementation strength in day-to-day business. Strategic visions for the sustainable safeguarding of hospital care must complement a management’s range of tasks. Similarly, creating transparency vis-à-vis the supervisory bodies is one of the most important tasks of management. This applies all the more in difficult phases of restructuring as well as when a hospital is stabilized.

Management and Leadership

Even though we still speak of hospital management, the management of a hospital today requires more than the classic management competencies. More and more, leadership structures are taking hold and management styles are changing. We take into account the culture of the individual organization, but also create new guard rails for the future. Whether systemic coaching or new work methods: In addition to the hospital CEO or interim manager, our team brings in complementary competencies that are important and necessary for team leadership.

Holistic competence for your hospital management

Examples of collaboration in hospital management

Business management

In a multi-year management mandate (3 years and longer), we contribute our own expertise and know-how in the management and restructuring of hospitals and other service providers.

The focus of our work is, among other things, to ensure adequate and high-quality medical care for the catchment area. We manage the facilities with a team of professional and experienced hospital managers. In this way, we reduce the risk of deficits. Noticeable effects can be achieved after a very short time. We create long-term perspectives for the care situation in a region. In this way, not only are the interests of the patients and the service providers in private practice represented, but also those of the workforce. It goes without saying that in our cooperation we attach great importance to the rapid stabilization of the hospital’s day-to-day operations. In the event of a turnaround, an important focus of our work in the first few weeks after taking over management is to ensure short- and medium-term liquidity. We take into account the influence of the owner on strategic decisions. In contrast to privatization or the inclusion of other shareholders, this influence remains unchanged.

We always keep an eye on the implementation options – this is what Oberender stands for: no fantasies, but realistic recommendations, which we help you to implement if you wish.

Interim Management

Sometimes the shoe does not pinch in the entire service portfolio. Interim management is always in demand when management expertise is needed at the executive level for a limited period of time and often at very short notice. Oberender AG meets the demand for short-term availability of the best management competence for the healthcare sector, especially in the hospital market. For a limited period of several months, experienced managing directors from the Oberender AG network take on management responsibility in order to implement the specific target set by the sponsoring organization. This can be extensive and demanding in various ways, from accompanying the search for a permanently employed managing director to managing an intended change of sponsor.

Oberender AG’s interim managers have mastered many entrepreneurial challenges in the hospital market during their professional careers and have always achieved very good results. They all have the necessary “stable smell”. They have many years of hospital experience and thus also understand the operational business and the particularities of dealing with the various professional groups. The secret of success lies in the close cooperation with our competence teams. In addition to the management, our consulting team supplements the employees on site at the second management level if special competencies are required there or if further gaps need to be filled by managers.

The partners of Oberender AG are available promptly and are able to solve the special tasks of the shareholders quickly and in a goal-oriented manner.

Important project steps and milestones around hospital management

A long-term management mandate requires a clear roadmap for implementation. With a 100-day program, we ensure clarity and define the decisive action areas that are necessary to improve the current result. Among other things, the 100-day program states:

Who does what?
How long will the implementation take?
What effect on results can be expected?

The roadmap then includes tasks that the Supervisory Board decides on how to implement. The new hospital management then decides on other tasks. Nevertheless, the entire plan is presented to the supervisory board and approved. Some points can be implemented in the short term, for example a change in the purchasing company, but for topics such as referral management, more time is often needed for implementation.

Competences for your success

Meeting the demands of professional hospital management requires important core competencies and deep insights into the market as a whole as well as into individual departments. Since Oberender AG is entrusted with the management of hospitals throughout Germany, we know the implementation probabilities and know exactly which concepts not only sound good on paper but are actually feasible. Further experts, our own databases and a deep knowledge of the structures in the hospital market are of course part of our cooperation.
