title: [Early rehabilitation in the hospital].
abstract: For years, experts have been demanding that early rehabilitation in the hospital be improved upon. They argue that timely and on-target activation and mobilisation of the patient while he or she is still under inpatient treatment will often enable earlier initiation of the subsequent comprehensive rehabilitation measures. Early start of rehabilitation improves the chances of social re-integrations. To meet the demands on quality assurance made by german social insurance legislation, concrete concepts are necessary to realize hospital treatment that meets all the needs and includes early rehabilitation steps. In this connection two research studies conducted at the level of the Federal Working Team for Rehabilitation have become increasingly significant, since they point to the deficiencies in rehabilitative care of hospital inpatients.
