[Indications for evaluation scales in quality assurance in rehabilitation--16]

Prognostic evaluations are necessary to predict efficiency and possible success in social medicine. For this reasons the "Integration Prognosis Index" (IPI) is giving criteria. The structure of the special indices are compiled under interdisciplinary aspects (by bio-socio-morphological interactionistic details). The IPI was proved by investigations on vocational integration (done by EAM and IMBA assessments). Because vocational integration is one aspect of participation classified by ICIDH-2 the importance of the IPI for quality assurance and for further social and therapeutic support could be demonstrated. Validity and Sensitivity was shown for structuring rehabilitative procedures. It is stressed that selectivity according to a priority principle is only acceptable in rehabilitation if all aspects of integration are realized in practice to improve the situations of handicapped people.
