Evaluation of patient characteristics, involved physicians and therapists as well as therapies in a German University Center for the Treatment of patients with intellectual disabilities and severe multiple disability (MZEB Aachen)
In the MZEB Aachen, since 11/2018 patients with intellectual disabilities and/or severe multiple disabilities are diagnosed, treated and accompanied for many years in a multidisciplinary setting with physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, ergo therapists, speech therapists and Support by social workers. MZEBs are considered to have a pilot function in the health care system, cooperating with therapists and physicians in the surroundings. This concept is established as a new concept in Germany in order to optimise health care for patients with disabilities. Thus we want to investigate patient characteristics, diagnoses, involved physicians and therapists as well as proposed therapies and disease progress in this center.
