October 19, 2026 at 12:20 PM

> The new op-termin.wien platform has scheduled over 245 hip and knee surgeries since May, reducing wait times for patients in Vienna.

The **Vienna Health Association** and **Vinzenz Kliniken Wien** launched **op-termin.wien** in May 2026, a joint platform for hip and knee replacement appointments. Since its launch, over 245 surgeries have been scheduled, and the first 25 operations have been completed.

Patients with a specialist referral can register online or via the 1450 health line. The system offers nearly 3,000 annual consultation slots across five sites, including **Klinik Donaustadt** and **Orthopädisches Spital Speising**, with wait times under 21 days.

This initiative addresses the 40,000 joint replacements performed annually in Austria. By allowing patients to choose the earliest date or a specific clinic, the platform streamlines care, as seen with a patient who booked in July and had surgery in August.
