DKG

As the umbrella organisation for hospital operators, the DKG represents the interests of hospitals. In addition to its political tasks, the DKG has set itself the goal of public dialogue, the exchange of experience and the support of scientific research. Together with other stakeholders in the healthcare system - health insurance companies, doctors' associations and nursing associations - it decides on all important hospital-related issues. It plays a key role in shaping the remuneration system in the hospital sector and inpatient quality assurance. It is a member of the Federal Joint Committee, which makes binding decisions on cross-sectoral outpatient and inpatient care. The DKG also represents German hospitals at an international level. It exclusively and directly pursues charitable purposes.
