German-Chinese Society for Health Care Management
Projects
Through a range of projects and initiatives, we promote exchange between Germany and the People's Republic of China in the fields of hospital management, healthcare facilities and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
iSÜV – Integrative Cross-Sectoral Care Facilities
With the project iSÜV – integrative cross-sectoral care facilities, DCG-Health is presenting an innovative approach to the further development of healthcare in Germany.
The idea for the project arose from German-Chinese professional exchange: inspired by a visit from a hospital delegation from Guangzhou to one of the oldest hospitals for naturopathy and integrative medicine, in Essen-Steele, it became clear how much potential integrative medical concepts hold for cross-sectoral structures. With their range of medical and nursing services, iSÜVs are ideally placed to link acute medicine, rehabilitation, long-term care and prevention more closely.
The central conceptual reference point is a fundamental principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine: preventing illness from arising in the first place wherever possible, identifying functional weaknesses at an early stage and strengthening them in a targeted way. In the iSÜV project, this preventive understanding is combined with evidence-based naturopathic and conventional medical approaches and adapted to the framework of the German healthcare system.
The project aims to develop concrete care models for cross-sectoral facilities that are medically sound, organisationally feasible and economically viable.
Benchmarking & Data Analysis
DCG-Health has many years of experience in the German-Chinese healthcare sector and in the analysis of hospital and healthcare provision data. We support partners in Germany and China in developing key performance indicators, benchmarks and data-driven foundations for decision-making – always taking into account the differing structures of the two healthcare systems.
Example: Introduction of standardised data collection and quality-oriented benchmarking at a Chinese hospital, based on the German model.
Management Seminars & Executive Education
Together with experienced speakers from healthcare, academia and hospital management, DCG-Health offers German-Chinese management seminars and continuing education formats on current issues in healthcare.
The seminars can be held online or in person and, depending on the target group, are offered in German, English or Chinese. The content is tailored individually to each target group – from hospital executives and specialist departments to associations, universities and healthcare institutions.
