title: [Patient-individual care pathways in phase D neurological rehabilitation].
abstract: The "patient-individual neurological care pathways" are a concept for qualified decision-making about rational rehabilitative strategies in the treatment of neurological diseases. Such clinical pathways include available scientific evidence and treatment guidelines. In neurological rehabilitation all treatments have a decidedly interdisciplinary character. All members of the team need highly specialized knowledge, a high potential for teamwork, as well as efficient organisation of work time. Here, computer aided decision-making tools such as the "patient-individual neurological care pathways" facilitate rational decisions and reduce the need for reorganization of therapies. In rehabilitation of neurological patients a symptom-oriented and function-related perspective of the individual treatment goals is indispensable for optimal choice of therapy approaches. This function-oriented classification of patients and creation of individual treatment plans are realized within the Excel-based care pathways. This system has been proved on the one hand as an instrument for streamlining and optimisation and, on the other, as a useful tutoring tool in the medical rehabilitation process.
