In the complex system of social welfare and health care in Germany, the tasks and responsibilities concerning rehabilitation are distributed among a great variety of different providers. In addition to the institutions concerned primarily with rehabilitation (e.g public employment agencies, public and private health and pension insurances) a large number of additional players are involved in rehabilitation processes and services.
A high degree of coordination and collaboration among these multiple players is a main concern of the BAR, because it is a major precondition for ensuring continuous and comprehensive rehabilitation. In order to guarantee an optimum of individualized therapy and support, responsibilities need to be clearly allocated and all players involved need to be working hand in hand in the planning and conducting of rehabilitation measures. The BAR is thus developing a nationwide framework.
The Federal Rehabilitation Council, or Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft für Rehabilitation (BAR), is the joint representation of the statutory health and accident insurance associations, the Federation of German Pension Insurance, the Central Association of Agricultural Social Insurance, the Federal Employment Agency, the German Federal States, the Central Associations of the Social Welfare Providers, the Federal Association of Integration Offices and Public Welfare Centers, the Federal Association of trans-regional Social Welfare Providers, and the Federal Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians for the Advancement and the Coordination of the Rehabilitation of Disabled People.
The foundation of the BAR in 1969 was the result of a joint initiative by the social welfare providers with the goal to safeguard and develop rehabilitation as an integral part of the social security system. The BAR proposes means of deregulation and decentralization as opposed to full state regulation.
The broad, comprehensive and diverse membership of the BAR creates the necessary framework for a joint forum of trans-institutional and interdisciplinary exchange and problem solving.
