Best-Practice-Empfehlungen zu Zielsetzungen, Inhalten und Methoden ambulanter und stationärer Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen von Patienten mit chronifizierenden oder chronischen Rückenschmerzen,

The cooperative project QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE PROCESS OF CARE MANAGEMENT OF BACK PAIN of the Bertelsmann foundation, the Institute of Community Medicine at the University Greifswald and 20 other partners focuses on the development of an integrative care management conception to improve the quality of the care of back pain. Paying attention to existing quality deficits in the sector of rehabilitation with its interfaces to curation and aftercare, the aim of the TASK FORCE REHABILITATION was to develop new approaches for the care management process of back pain. One key aspect is the development of best-practice recommendations for objectives, treatment principles and components of therapy in the rehabilitation of chronic back pain for persons in the working age of 18 - 65 years. For that purpose the scientific standard of knowledge concerning successful interventions, being reported in existing systematic reviews and national studies, was summarized and consensually evaluated. The results constitute the fundamentals for an evidence-based, standardized conceptual course of action in the rehabilitation of back pain.
