operasan treats patients in nephrology (kidney medicine) including dialysis. This is done in cooperation with physicians in private practice and in the company's own medical care centers. The aim is to provide high-quality patient care as close as possible to the patient, ideally in the patient's home environment or in the nursing home providing care.

The aim of operasan is to establish a sustainable structure for the promotion and implementation of home dialysis. operasan assumes responsibility for dialysis vis-à-vis patients, health insurance companies and the associations of panel doctors. It relieves the cooperating physicians of all organizational and administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on their medical work. All home dialysis procedures are taken into account, hemodialysis as well as peritoneal dialysis. The care of patients in their home environment is just as much in the foreground of the work as the care in specially qualified facilities for inpatient care and care for the elderly.

What is needed is a tightly knit and efficiently organized network of medical facilities, hospitals, outpatient and inpatient care facilities, health insurance companies and associations of panel doctors, pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies, as well as the supplying industry. 

The task and objective of operasan is to set up, organize and operate the network, which is called dialysis@home. The aim is to increase the share of home dialysis in Germany to over 20 per cent within ten years.
