Digital renaissance of German Aftercare

Recare continues to focus on the introduction of its digital discharge management solutions and aims to reach 80% of all available hospital beds in Germany under contract by 2025. 


The bold undertaking to improve patient aftercare processes comes  at a crucial moment in the digital transformation of the German healthcare system. Aiding the final phase of the implementation of the Hospital Future Act (Krankenhauszukunftsgesetz/KHZG), which obliges hospitals to digitize and thus improve their efficiency, making the penetration of the discharge management market a top priority.

Recare has quickly become one of the leading platforms for digital discharge management in Germany, acting as a neutral marketplace, and giving hospitals the opportunity to easier and more efficiently find care providers for their patients with aftercare needs.

With the acquisition of the biggest former competitor in 2023, Recare’s marketplace will grow to 700 acute hospitals, 650 rehabilitation clinics as well as 24.000 further care providers, medical suppliers and home care companies. More than 400.000 patients have already benefited from faster aftercare thanks to their platform.

From the start, Recare decided on an alternative approach to the traditional VC route and only partnered with investors with experience and expertise in the German health system. Resulting in a crystal clear focus on the mission at hand and setting the company up for longevity.
