title: [Medical rehabilitation: "change we need"].
abstract: Medical Rehabilitation in Germany needs change. Weaknesses of the present care system are pointed out, and the potential for change is explored. The latter implies a more active search for rehabilitation need and the implementation of problem-focussed, flexible programmes. Above all, better evidence for the effectiveness of the German rehabilitation system is crucial.
