[Outcome quality in oncologic rehabilitation. Viewpoint of the Professional Committee of Rehabilitation, After-Care and Social Medicine of the German Cancer Society].
The article is concerned with the basic ideas of outcome quality within the field of oncological rehabilitation and expresses the position which is held by the Section for Rehabilitation, Aftercare and Social Medicine within the German Cancer Society. The authors explicitly express the necessity of rehabilitation-specific goals and corresponding outcome criteria as opposed to the goals and criteria of acute oncological treatment. In the formulation of goals and criteria, the medical-somatic, occupational-rehabilitative, social and psychological levels are considered. The consequences which arise from these outcome criteria with regard to the rehabilitative health care system for cancer patients are discussed.
