title: [Possibilities of quality assurance in ambulatory rehabilitation].
abstract: Formal, structurally determined quality requirements (for medical and non-medical staff, space and equipment, respectively) are supplemented by guidelines that are able to inform about the actual course of rehabilitation. Not only externally controlled medical reports on the treatment are suited for this, but also inquiries of patients comparisons between sickness insurances (for example on duration of inability to work, need for hospital measures of rehabilitation) and the comparison with patients who did not take part in ambulant rehabilitation. A report system has to be built up that pictures the clientele of the "reha"-institution, measures changes and documents results a long-term basis. The proposed periodical tests and final test serve not only for the control of patient progress in each single case with information for the practitioner, but also give financial committees hints on the efficiency of the work of the institutions for rehabilitation. Continuous attendance is proposed with a report system and scientific evaluation, whose results are sent concisely but anonymous by to the contract partners on a quarterly basis. A committee for quality assurance discusses new developments and improves ambulant rehabilitation.
