Best Practice ZAR Stuttgart -
Centre for Outpatient Rehabilitation
Aftercare rate increased by 47%
The mission
In the outpatient facility ZAR Stuttgart, the rate of patients able to enrol in a traditional aftercare programme was at only around 42%.
The aim was to change that by stabilising therapy success rates and increasing the proportion of patients taking up the aftercare offer to 70%.
A large number of patients are unable to take up the facility’s aftercare treatment offer on account of long journeys or time constraints.

The upward trend in aftercare rates at ZAR Stuttgart shows what enormous potential telerehabilitation aftercare has as an alternative service model to more traditional aftercare models.
All ZAR facilities have now implemented Caspar Health and work with its digital concepts. Doing so, we’re able to stabilise the quality and sustainability of our rehabilitation measures.
