[Databank-oriented physician generated medical record as the basis for outcome quality in rehabilitation medicine]

A new approach is presented for the medical reports in rehabilitation medicine. It is realized with the integration of formatted textblocks into a client-server based workflow. This technology is able to reduce hardware and costs. The data material, extracted from the daily routine of the hospital, is characterized by high quality and it supports statistics and quality management. It is a uniform database for rehabilitation medicine and for rehabilitation research. Since 1996 the medical report software has been established in all rehabilitation hospitals accredited by the LVA Württemberg pension insurance agency.
