AB  - The principal subject of the Rehabilitation Research Network of Berlin, 
      Brandenburg and Saxony (BBS) is "the theoretical and practical bases of the 
      organisation and economics of rehabilitation". What is involved is a nation-wide 
      analysis of the rehabilitation system, i.e. obtaining empirical information on 
      the question as to what organisational forms are currently used to carry out 
      rehabilitation and what results are achieved. This empirical stocktaking also 
      includes economic aspects as far as possible. This study is to serve as a basis 
      for developing, testing and implementing steps to rationalise steering mechanisms 
      in the rehabilitation system. The first aspect to be studied is "national 
      steering problems in institutionalised forms of rehabilitation". The focus is on 
      projects on information management and performance and quality management in 
      rehabilitation sciences as well as on the actual work of a number of bodies 
      paying for rehabilitation (Bundesversicherungsanstalt fur Angestellte, 
      Landesversicherungsanstalten) as well as rehabilitation facilities (clinics 
      etc.). The two other focuses of the study will examine "rehabilitative adjustment 
      to remedies and technical aids/prostheses" and problems facing "family members in 
      the context of rehabilitation". In studying these two areas, we are particularly 
      interested in examining the interaction between institutionalised aspect of 
      rehabilitation and informal factors both inside and outside the system. The BBS 
      approach is supported by close co-operation with the regional pension insurance 
      institutes (BfA, LVAs) with regard to both the data model and steps being taken. 
      The principal instrument of co-operation is the "Gesellschaft fur 
      Rehabilitationswissenschaften e.V." (Society for Rehabilitation Sciences). In 
      Berlin the BBS co-operates with Free University, the Technical University and the 
      Robert Koch Institute and in Saxony with the universities in Dresden and Leipzig. 
      Responsibility for scientific questions in the BBS lies with the Institute for 
      Rehabilitation Sciences of Berlin's Humboldt University.
