The Federal Joint Committee (German: ''Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss'') refers to a group of German public health agencies that were merged in 2004, under an independent chairman.〔 It is authorized to make binding regulations growing out of health reform bills passed by lawmakers, along with routine decisions regarding healthcare in Germany. Although the Committee is not a subordinate agency and is independent of the Ministry of Health, government officials are responsible for exercising legal supervision over the Committee's decisions and guidelines. As a supreme decision-making body, the Committee exerts a direct influence on the healthcare provisions for millions of people.〔 == History == The Committee was formed with the merger of the following organizations * Bundesausschuss der Ärzte und Krankenkassen〔 (''Federal committee of Physicians and Health Insurers'') * Bundesausschuss der Zahnärzte und Krankenkassen〔(''Federal committee of Dentists and Health Insurers'') * Koordinierungsausschuss〔 (''Federal coordination committee'') * Ausschuss Krankenhaus〔 (''Hospital committee'') These organizations were created several decades ago to ensure a proper supervision of the professional relationship between doctors and health insurers. Their roots can be partially traced back to the Weimar Republic in the late-1910s and 1920s. In 2004, they were renamed and merged into the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA). Currently, they carry the following names: * Kassenärztlichen und Kassenzahnärztlichen Bundesvereinigung (''National Associations of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and Dentists'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.english.g-ba.de/structure/ )〕 * Deutschen Krankenhausgesellschaft (''German Hospital Federation'')〔 * GKV-Spitzenverband (''Central Federal Association of Health Insurance Funds'')〔 As a supreme decision-making body, the Joint Committee exerts a direct influence on the healthcare provisions for millions of people.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federal Joint Committee (Germany)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
