title: [Interdisciplinary Cooperation as a Characteristic of Successful Rehabilitation Facilities--Results from the Project MeeR].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine if there is a difference between successful and less successful rehabilitation facilities concerning their extent and quality of interdisciplinary cooperation?
  
  
  METHODS
  This analysis is part of the project MeeR, that aims to identify characteristics of rehabilitation facilities related to successful rehabilitation. 6 facilities were recruited based on a quantitative analysis; 3 facilities that ranked as above average and 3 as below average in terms of their success in rehabilitating patients. Comprehensive qualitative data were collected on these 6 facilities.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In above average rehabilitation facilities, the extent of interdisciplinary cooperation was higher than in below average facilities; the position of the medical profession was less dominant and there was a wider access to team meetings.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Promotion of interdisciplinary cooperation is an important component for the improvement of the success of rehabilitation facilities.
