title: [The significance of intra-clinical outcome criteria in geriatric rehabilitation--results of an after-care project on the issue of quality assurance].
abstract: Given the need for long-term quality assurance in the rehabilitation of geriatric patients, it is appropriate to inquire into the relevancy of intra-clinical outcome criteria for the patients' everyday life. It is assumed that everyday life at home will differ substantially from clinic routines, and that the rehabilitation potential achieved in the clinic will not as a matter of course be transferable. The findings of a follow-up project clearly show that long-term maintenance of rehabilitation potential, i.e. quality assurance, may be endangered primarily in three dimensions--psychic, social, and organizational. An orientation by purely intra-clinical outcome criteria of short reach (self-care, ADL, etc.), therefore, is contrasted with the consideration of psychosocial outcome criteria of long reach (quality of life, competence) in assessing rehabilitation outcome.
