Abstract

Development of a computer software for supporting medical quallity management by documenting progression and results of medical rehabilitation in neurologic, orthopaedic, and geriatric patients. The software "Eva-Reha" (Evaluation of Medical Rehabilitation) was generated using C ++ in a client-server structure with Interbase being the underlying relational database management system. The software is network-compatible and runs under Windows NT and Windows 2000. "Eva-Reha", developed by the "Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung Rheinland-Pfalz (MDK RLP)" supports quality management systems in medical rehabilitation. Since 2003 the MDK RLP provides neurologic and geriatric rehabilitation centres with the software free of charge. With the help of "Eva-Reha" progression and results of medical rehabilitation can be displayed metrically, thus facilitating individual rehabilitation planning and supporting motivation of the rehabilitation team. Therapeutic strategies can be evaluated for different ICD-10-diagnoses or impairment groups. Moreover, "Eva-Reha" provides valuable data for administration and controlling purposes, e. g. age structure, case mix, impairment on admission and medical as well as rehabilitative procedures. The system generates a request for extension in a set form which facilitates communication between rehabilitation centres and sponsors.
