[Quality standards in treatment and rehabilitation of traumatic brain injuries].

The quality standards of the "Deutsche gesetzliche Unfallversicherung" (DGUV) on the treatment of traumatic brain injuries were first published in 2015. They describe the optimal conditions and requirements of acute treatment and in all phases of rehabilitation and aftercare, according to the current state of knowledge. The aim is to enable a life worth living in family, school, occupation and society for as many injuries as possible. The quality standards, as systematic orientation and decision-making aids, should promote the future development of the treatment and rehabilitation of traumatic brain injuries of all grades of severity and guarantee a uniformly high quality of treatment. A special and comprehensive rehabilitative alignment as well as a close networking of medical and occupation-promoting services will be of particular importance for the institutions participating in the rehabilitation of patients with traumatic brain injuries.
