title: [A German Survey of Goal Setting and Goal Agreement in Medical Rehabilitation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the current practice of goal setting and goal agreement in the Medical rehabilitation in Germany.
  
  
  METHODS
  Rehabilitation centers contracted by the German Pension Insurance and covering all indications were approached by a questionnaire survey.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The percentage of questionnaires returned was 48.1% (N=716). 93.3% of the responders replied that the importance placed on "rehab goals" at their institution was "very high" (41.1%) or "quite high" (52.2%). Our findings, however, reveal the potential for improving the quality of setting rehab goals in the fields of "process orientation", "team orientation" and "patient orientation".
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Rehabilitation centers perceive current practice in goal setting and goal agreement as being on a high level. The rehabilitation centers name many positive aspects as well as barriers to goal setting. Those problems should be more frequently addressed in practice.
