Big move: Wiesbaden clinic opens up new intensive care area!

A big move in the medical landscape of Wiesbaden has started. On a Monday morning, a team of doctors and nurses full of energy started the long-awaited transfer of the Helios Horst-Schmidt-Klinik (HSK) into their new building. Planned as a logistical challenge, the high-care patients in the intensive care unit were the first to transport them to the modern clinic in their beds. It is a huge step for the clinic that has been an integral part of health care in the Hessian state capital for decades.

The Helios HSK treated around 100,000 patients inpatient or outpatient last year. The previous building was very worn out, and after many delays, the new building is now ready to take over 924 patients with the support of around 3,000 employees. There are 22 operating rooms and six delivery rooms available that promise a beehive -like activity.

classified processes and exciting transport routes

Before the clinic emerges, there was an ambulance that was waiting to bring patients to the new building. Logistics is of central importance. The team was supported by the team by Nami Toksun, the head of logistics, who also wanted to intervene when necessary. "We are completely relaxed," said Ann-Christine Schulz, the nursing manager of the intensive care unit, somewhat ironic. In the flowing transitions of the intensive care units, it was necessary to work precisely and quickly to ensure patient safety.

On the way to the new intensive care unit was a mobile transport system. A 72 meter long connecting tunnel protected the patients from bad weather. The transport itself should not take longer than 8.5 minutes. The director of the Clinic for Interdisciplinary Intensive Care Medicine, Moritz unbelief, monitored the process meticulously and ensured that everything ran like clockwork.

The so-called Mobi-Docs played a special role. These mobile medical equipment connected to the beds are equipped with ventilation devices and additional oxygen sources in order to be able to react quickly to any medical emergencies during transport. Vital values such as blood pressure and oxygen supply were continuously checked to secure the well -being of the seriously ill.

extensive preparation and more than just a move

more than three years took preparation for this move. Sven Ax, Managing Director of the Helios Clinics Wiesbaden-Taunus, emphasized how Surreal it is that the move is actually taking place. Julia Zimmer, the project manager for the move, also found that these dimensions of parades in her previous professional experience are exceptional. After countless sessions and detailed planning, the team was now well prepared for this big logistical challenge.

In the old intensive care unit, the rooms quickly empty, while the last patients are transferred to the new building. Over 50 employees are in action and ensure that everything works smoothly. After the first patients moved to the new premises, everyone involved was optimistic. "We worked well," remarked care manager Schulz. "A new stage begins." Despite the excitement and melancholy about leaving old areas, the joy and anticipation for the new, modernly equipped clinic.

Numerous specialist departments will move with their patients in the coming days. On the first day of the move, 50 people, including general surgery and gastroenterology, have already been part of the new chapter in Wiesbaden Clinic History. The move is a remarkable step in the development and quality of health care and is carried by the arduous preparations that have demanded a lot to the doctors and employees of the Helios HSK.

In this significant moment of redesigning the HSK, it becomes clear that not only a physical move is carried out here, but also an investment in people's health. The new structural conditions create the framework to help the patient as best as possible, and the committed employees are ready to accompany the new path and to bring the clinic company into life in its new form.
