What Deutsche Gesellschaft für Integrierte Versorgung im Gesundheitswesen e. V. (DGIV) does

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Integrierte Versorgung im Gesundheitswesen e. V. (DGIV) is a German non-profit registered association (eingetragener Verein) founded on 26 September 2003 in Berlin, headquartered at Wartburgstraße 11, D-10823 Berlin. Its stated objective is to make integrated, cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary, and interprofessional care the default model of healthcare delivery in Germany. To that end, DGIV serves as an interest-representation and convening body that brings together three constituencies: Leistungserbringer (healthcare providers such as hospitals, practices, nursing services, and therapists), Kostenträger (payers including statutory health insurers), and the healthcare industry (medical devices, pharmaceuticals, health IT). It is not a technology company and does not sell a unified software product; instead, it functions as a member-based society whose deliverables are advocacy, networking, knowledge transfer, and policy influence.

DGIV's products are programmatic rather than commercial: the annual Bundeskongress, DGIV-Bootcamps, regional meetings, webinars, and the tranSektoris Impact Programs (including the 2026/27 "Digital vor Ambulant vor Stationär" co-organized with BARMER), plus standing working groups (AG-Digitalisierung, AG-Vergütung, AK Regionale Gesundheitsversorgung), podcasts, publications, and joint position statements (for example with Deutsches Netzwerk Versorgungsforschung on Innovationsfonds funding). The association is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Univ.-Prof. Dr. mult. Eckhard Nagel, with two Deputy Chairmen representing Siemens Healthcare GmbH and Vivantes – Netzwerk für Gesundheit GmbH, a General Secretary (Dr. Michael Meyer), and additional board members drawn from DKG, figus GmbH, Institut für Gesundheitssystem-Entwicklung, and AOK Sachsen-Anhalt. DGIV's value proposition centers on its unique role as the only German association explicitly uniting providers, payers, and industry around integrated care, and on the political and operational influence that flows from board members who also hold senior roles in DKG and HOPE.

The business model is membership-fee based and subscription in nature: DGIV generates revenue through annual membership dues structured by the member's legal status as a member and, for non-natural persons, additionally by the employee count of the organization. There are no funding rounds, no disclosed revenue figures, no subsidiaries, and no parent company. Geographic scope is national (Germany), with a growing European dimension through DGIV board member Prof. Dr. Henriette Neumeyer's presidency of the European Hospital and Healthcare Federation (HOPE). Anchor relationships include Deutsche Krankenhausgesellschaft (DKG), BARMER, BARMER Institut für Gesundheitsforschung (bifG), Siemens Healthcare GmbH, Vivantes – Netzwerk für Gesundheit GmbH, and DNVF, alongside initiative-level engagement with Vision Zero Oncology.

Broad incumbents

• European Hospital and Healthcare Federation (HOPE): The European-level hospital and healthcare federation. With DGIV board member Neumeyer now serving as HOPE President, HOPE is both a partner and a parallel stakeholder association operating in adjacent integrated-care policy territory.
• Deutsche Krankenhausgesellschaft (DKG): The German Hospital Association is the central advocacy body for hospital operators in Germany. DGIV's board member Neumeyer serves as Deputy Chairwoman of DKG, and the two organizations coordinate closely on integrated-care policy, making DKG the most directly comparable peer in scope and mission.
• AOK Bundesverband: The federal association of the AOK group of statutory health insurers in Germany. AOK Sachsen-Anhalt is represented on DGIV's board, and AOK collectively is one of the largest payer constituencies in DGIV's integrated-care agenda.
• GKV-Spitzenverband: The central federation of statutory health insurance funds in Germany. As the unified payer voice, it is a counterpart in the integrated-care policy discussions that DGIV coordinates, and its members (such as AOK Sachsen-Anhalt) sit on DGIV's board.
• Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung (KBV): The federal association of statutory health insurance physicians in Germany. KBV is a parallel stakeholder in the cross-sectoral integrated-care debate that DGIV convenes, representing the ambulatory physician constituency within the same policy arena.
• Bundesärztekammer (BÄK): The German Medical Association represents physicians nationwide. Like DGIV, it is a membership-based professional body in German healthcare policy, though focused on the medical profession rather than cross-sectoral integration.

Direct peers

• BARMER: One of Germany's largest statutory health insurers and a co-organizer with DGIV of the tranSektoris Impact Program 2026/27 on digital transformation. BARMER operates in the same cross-sectoral integrated-care space and partners with DGIV on flagship programming.
• Marburger Bund: Germany's association for hospital physicians. As a membership-based professional body active in healthcare workforce and care-delivery policy, it is structurally comparable to DGIV and a stakeholder in the same integrated-care debates.
• Deutsches Netzwerk Versorgungsforschung (DNVF): The German Network for Health Services Research. DNVF and DGIV issue joint position statements (e.g., on the Innovationsfonds), making DNVF a directly comparable advocacy/research-network peer within the German integrated-care policy ecosystem.

Regional players

• Verband der Ersatzkassen (vdek): The association of substitutive (Ersatzkasse) health insurers in Germany. As a payer-side counterpart to DGIV's cross-sectoral integrated-care mission, vdek represents an adjacent advocacy constituency in the same policy arena.
