Follow Up Treatment

The follow-up treatment is a medical rehabilitation measure that can be carried out on an outpatient, inpatient, or semi-inpatient basis. It takes place after a preceding inpatient hospital stay and aims to restore and optimize health and performance: lost functions or abilities should be regained and patients should feel prepared for the demands of everyday and professional life.

 

When can a follow-up treatment be carried out?

The follow-up treatment usually must begin within 14 days after discharge (following surgery) and is only considered for certain conditions. The time frame for the follow-up treatment is three weeks.
