CEO comments:
“Our medical strategy continues to deliver stable improvements in sales growth and operating results in all segments.”
We have a clear strategy and focus: In continental Europe, Modern Medicine is driving Rapid Recovery with shorter treatment times and a higher proportion of outpatient treat-ments. In the Nordics, Modern Management will increase the direct patient time for medical staff thus driving higher productivity through empowered people.
In financial terms this translates for the Group into 3.2% organic sales growth in the first six months (3.5% in the quarter) and an improvement in adjusted operating result (EBITA) of 15.1% (18.3% in the quarter).
In the Nordics the focus is on more patient time for doctors and nurses through less administrative duties. Several projects will be implemented during 2015 to speed up this development.
Organic sales growth was for the first six months 5.1% (4.8% in the quarter) and adjusted operating result (EBITA) was up 21.1% (17.2% in the quarter). There was good sales growth and positive development of operating results in Capio St Göran’s hospital, Specialist Clinics and Norway. Proximity Care has limited growth and no result improvements and thus has struggled to outperform last year. In order to improve the development in Proximity Care, there is a very strong focus on increasing the time for patients through more doctor visits per day among other actions.
In France the number of patients operated on increased by 2.1%, including 6.6% outpatient growth and a -6.2% inpatient decrease in the first six months. This means that we are successful in Rapid Recovery moving patients from in- to outpatient treatments in line with our strategy. The share of outpatients operated on has increased by 3 p.p. to 67% out of the total number of patients operated on in the first six months compared to last year. We have also seen the average length of stay (AVLOS) continuing to shorten. During the first half of 2015 we have performed in total 3,465 (3,287) hip and knee replacements, of which 226 (34) in day surgery.
With the French Government’s ambition to push for shorter stays and more outpatient treatments, prices have been decreased from March 1, 2015 with a negative effect on prices with -2.5%. The organic sales growth of 1.2% (1.8% in the quarter) includes the effect of the price reduction as well as the effect from a doctors’ strike, opposing new regulation, in January in certain hospitals. Capio France has put a program in place to speed up implementation of Modern Medicine to compensate for this price decrease. The program is not yet fully up to speed. However, considering the lower prices from March and the doctors’ strike effect in January the result development is positive in the first six months.
In Germany the organic sales growth was 1.1% (2.6% in the quarter) and operating result (EBITA) was up with 11.1%, reflecting an improved performance in the general hospitals (mainly the hospital in Dannenberg).
