title: [Current trends in medical rehabilitation and their significance for the field of psychosomatic rehabilitation].
abstract: At present the process of serious restructuring can be observed in the system of medical rehabilitation in Germany. This paper focuses on recently initiated innovations and their consequences for psychosomatic rehabilitation. The patient's access to a psychosomatic rehabilitation system is analysed and examined to what extent innovations increase early detection of patients with psychosomatic disorders. Regarding the structure of psychosomatic rehabilitative offers, the initiated innovations such as an increase of flexibility, better transition and improvement of inpatient rehabilitative offers are described and discussed. Finally, the development of quality improvement programs and rehabilitation research in the field of psychosomatic rehabilitation is presented. Although many changes have taken place up to now, further relevant modifications in psychosomatic rehabilitation are predicted by the authors.
