Verband des Klinikmanagements Deutschlands e.V. (VKD)

The VKD introduces itself:

First and foremost, we are a network for hospital managers. In addition, we are a contact for associations, the media and politics. The aim is to exchange experiences on current health management topics.

To this end, we organise various event formats at
Federal, state and specialist group level.

Since 1903, we have been using the sound practical knowledge and experience of our members to make a positive difference in the interests of the cause - the best possible health care for people - and are thus much more than a professional association

In doing so, our priorities are:

• THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS FIRST
• BETTER NETWORKING OF LOCAL SERVICE OFFERINGS
• APPRECIATION OF THE WORK IN THE HOSPITAL
• RECOGNITION AND PROMOTION AS A FUTURE INDUSTRY AND JOB ENGINE
• FAIR FINANCING
• THE REDUCTION OF BUREAUCRACY
• AN APPROPRIATE USE OF FUNDS

With around 2,250 members, we represent the management of almost all German hospitals, including rehabilitation clinics, nursing homes and psychiatric facilities.
