Extensive rehabilitation rather than pension payments
Hence, it is of vital economic importance that borderline cases between rehabilitation and pensions are identified and their rehabilitation optimally managed. From accident site through to reintegration into working life and becoming a member of society, the clinics take a holistic approach to caring for the patients and work at the highest level in all relevant disciplines. That begins with optimum polytrauma management followed by first-class surgical care, continues through consistent physiotherapeutic immediate and aftercare and often ends with the return to the workplace, however, under certain circumstances with lifelong aftercare. This approach centres on the patient and is also the most economic for the professional associations.
The sponsors of the statutory accident insurance take over and manage medical treatment and rehabilitation after an occupational accident or occupational disease. The objective is - following the principle of rehabilitation before pension - optimum medical care as well as the vocational and social reintegration of the patient.
