title: [Rehabilitation management system of the German Social Accident Insurance. Initial medical experiences].
abstract: To improve outcome quality of rehabilitation, the German Social Accident Insurance implemented a rehabilitation management system. A rehabilitation manager operates as active supervisor of the rehabilitation process of severely injured persons beginning from the time when the accident happened. The sequence is recorded on a rehabilitation schedule by the physician, rehabilitation manager and patient together. The concept has not yet been fully accepted by all insurers. Furthermore there is no uniform approach in compiling the rehabilitation schedule which can lead to delays in the process and insecurity of patients. In the following article these aspects are illustrated and improvement suggestions are highlighted.
