    Abstract:
    Preventive measures in occupational dermatology have proven to be very effective in recent years, especially measures of primary and secondary prevention as components of a complex hierarchical prevention concept. For those cases of occupational dermatoses in which these outpatient prevention measures are not successful, interdisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation measures have been developed ("tertiary individual prevention" [TIP]). TIP comprises 3 weeks inpatient treatment including intensive disease-oriented teaching and psychological counseling, followed by outpatient treatment by the local dermatologist. In 2005, a German prospective cohort multicenter study ("Medizinisch-Berufliches Rehabilitationsverfahren Haut--Optimierung und Qualitätssicherung des Heilverfahrens" [ROQ]) started which will further standardize TIP and evaluate long-term success and scientific sustainability in depth. This integrated concept of an inpatient/outpatient disease management reveals remarkable pertinent options for patients with severe occupational dermatoses in all high-risk professions.
