Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Social Security Law

Context:

  • Assessing rehabilitation need is challenging without clear, objective criteria.
  • German statutory pension funds require a defined concept for service provision.
  • Traditional criteria (neediness, ability, prognosis) lack operationalization.

Purpose:

  • To develop a scientifically valid and operationally defined concept of "rehabilitation need".
  • To introduce a screening algorithm for objective assessment of individual rehabilitation needs.
  • To align rehabilitation program complexity with health impairment complexity.

Summary:

  • The study extends traditional rehabilitation need criteria using theory, evidence, and sociolegal factors.
  • A screening algorithm is presented to objectify needs by considering central disorders, complications, risk factors, comorbidities, and context.
