[Stage-oriented nursing care rates in neurologic rehabilitation]

The aim of this pilot study done in a neurological rehabilitation center for children and adolescents was to increase the transparency of costs in relation to work and to gain differentiated daily rates according to the kind and amount of nursing and multidisciplinary treatment of patients in different phases (B, C, D) of neurorehabilitation. Presented and discussed are methods and instruments for performance registration and connecting them to costs. As the study shows quite different daily rates are necessary to assure adequate treatment for young patients in different phases--early to late--of neurological rehabilitation.
