Editorial Guidelines

Medical review

All medical content is reviewed by Susanne Reiche, a licensed physician (Approbation) specialising in internal medicine with a focus on geriatrics and palliative care, and the medical director of RAB Arztbesuche. Every statement on symptoms, diagnostics or treatment carries her named sign-off as “Medically reviewed by”.

Organisational content such as costs, GOÄ billing and the visit process is owned by managing director Tobias Reiche. The managing director does not review medical content; clinical responsibility rests solely with licensed physicians.

Sources and evidence

Medical statements draw on recognised sources: the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the S2k and S3 guidelines of the AWMF, and recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO). For every key statement we cite the retrieval date so readers can trace the state of the evidence.

Updates and corrections

Every content page carries a visible “Last updated” date and a machine-readable dateModified in its schema. We re-review medical content at least every 12 months, and additionally whenever new evidence or revised guidelines appear. We correct factual errors promptly and reflect material changes in the update date.

Scope and emergencies

Our content is informational and does not replace individual medical advice. In life-threatening situations such as unconsciousness, severe chest pain or shortness of breath, always call the emergency number 112. Outside practice hours, the statutory on-call medical service is reachable Germany-wide on 116117. RAB Arztbesuche treats acute but not immediately life-threatening conditions, usually within 60 to 90 minutes.
