Practical handbook and commentary on the current MDK assessment guidelines - clear and with many case examples. Care service managers, care consultants, and independent experts will find everything they need to understand, evaluate, recognize errors, and justify objections to MDK assessments in this handbook. It is a reference work that is also useful for legal guardians and specialized lawyers in social law. Every day in Germany, several hundred applications for a care level or upgrade are rejected. Many are justified - but many are unjustified. Care professionals and management are often the first point of contact for confused individuals and their families. To provide competent advice and decide together whether a second assessment or an objection is promising, it is essential to be familiar with the assessment guidelines.
