Hospital expert Wolfgang Pföhler (pictured) was re-elected as President of the Board of Trustees of the German Hospital Institute (DKI) for another three years on December 11, 2015.

Pföhler: "I am pleased to be able to continue contributing my experience to the DKI Board of Trustees for the benefit and positive development of the institute. I will be happy to continue the excellent collaboration we have enjoyed so far with the sponsors, as well as the DKI Board and Management."„

Coming from a political background, Pföhler served for many years as Managing Director of Mannheim University Hospital, Chairman of the Board of Rhön-Klinikum AG, and President of the German Hospital Association.

The German Hospital Institute (DKI) in Düsseldorf has been a firmly established player in the German healthcare system for over 60 years and is the only company in the industry to offer research, hospital consulting, and continuing education services from a single source. The DKI's research focuses not only on the annual Hospital Barometer, but also on numerous studies in the field of healthcare research, for example, on the structural quality of nursing in perinatal medicine, or on issues of hospital financing, such as the investment capacity of German hospitals.
