The NÖ Landeskliniken-Holding has now purchased a license for an extensive collection of Springer medical journals. As a result, medical staff from 27 different hospitals in Lower Austria will soon have access to more than 500 English- and German-language journals from Springer and Adis. The license will have an initial term of four years, beginning January 2015.
In preparation, Springer created an electronic journals package optimally tailored to the needs of the medical staff. With this package, Springer ensures that users will be able to conveniently access the scientific and medical content on a broad range of mobile devices. The individual hospitals had previously each purchased their own journal subscriptions. As a result of the new agreement at the holding level, hospital staff will now have far more content at their disposal.
The facilities represented by the NÖ Landeskliniken-Holding are home to a total of about 20,000 employees. The Holding's 27 locations offer 8,000 beds. With over 3,500 physicians, roughly 10,200 healthcare staff, 170,000 operations and 2.24 million days of occupancy, it is one of the largest clinic operators in Austria. Every year the Provincial Clinics treat an average of 360,000 people on an inpatient basis, offering them outstanding medical care close to their homes.
