DGbG becomes DGbV

The DGbG aims to broaden the association's foundation with a focus on healthcare management. To this end, a matrix covering all service areas has been created, which will gradually be linked to working groups that will define the interfaces and develop proposed solutions for more effective and efficient healthcare. To better reflect this idea in the association's name, the association's name was changed at yesterday's general meeting: After the changes are entered in the register of associations, the association will be called "German Society for Citizen-Oriented Healthcare Management e.V." The DGbV will in future be led by Dr. John N. Weatherly (Newstand), whom the general meeting elected as president. The previous president, Prof. Dr.Dr.dr.hc. mult Dieter Adam, did not run for re-election to this office but will remain on the executive committee, as will the current and new vice presidents, Dr. Klaus Meyer-Lutterloh. Treasurer Rainer Seiler (Zur Rose) and Walter Röhrer (Hexal) were confirmed in their positions. Ralf Pourie (4sigma) and Prof. Dr. Reinhold Roski (Berlin University of Applied Sciences and editor of "Monitor Versorgungsforschung") were elected as new members of the Executive Board.
