Begleitende Fallbetreuung während Stufenweiser Wiedereingliederung und Nachsorge

Case management during gradual reintegration pursues the goal of providing assistance geared to the individual problem situation of the person undergoing rehabilitation. Case management offers insured persons advisory and, if necessary, intervening support from a case manager at the rehabilitation facility during gradual reintegration and possible medical aftercare. If, in the event of a crisis, there is a risk of termination, but the rehabilitant's self-management options have been exhausted, the case supervisor intervenes by taking active measures (e.g. contacting the employer, etc.). But also in the case of termination, a perspective on the further rehabilitation process is developed in cooperation with the person concerned. The implementation of case management is the exclusive responsibility of therapeutic professional groups, in particular certified social workers, certified psychologists and occupational therapists. Case management is aimed at insured persons: - with recognizable problems in the workplace that affect communication or can be traced back to unfavorable organizational conditions - for whom there is a discrepancy between their own assessment of their ability to perform and the doctor's assessment - whose motivational situation appears to be ambivalent and in need of support and who assess the rehabilitation outcome as negative. This model project was initially developed at the German Pension Insurance Rhineland-Palatinate and scientifically evaluated by the University of Hamburg/fbg Karlsruhe (Dr. Wolfgang Bürger). The existing concept is being revised in inter-agency working sessions to enable integration into existing structures of the insurance providers. Scientific support is planned.
