[2] Rehabilitation - World Health Organization (WHO) — Rehabilitation helps a child, adult or older person to be as independent as possible in everyday activities and enables participation in education, work, recreation and meaningful life roles such as taking care of family. Globally, an estimated 2.4 billion people are currently living with a health condition that may benefit from rehabilitation. Currently, the need for rehabilitation is largely unmet. Overview Rehabilitation is defined as “a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment”. Rehabilitation is an investment, with cost benefits for both the individuals and society.

[18] How rehab programs are tailored to individual needs — An individualized approach to rehabilitation focuses on crafting personalized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs, goals, and circumstances of each client. Customizing rehabilitation programs for individual needs allows for more targeted and effective treatment. Individualized treatment considers crucial factors such as addiction severity, mental health status, and personal circumstances, leading to improved recovery outcomes. Tailored rehab programs enhance recovery effectiveness by offering personalized care that addresses the specific needs and circumstances of each individual. For instance, pregnant women may need specialized prenatal care integrated within their treatment plans, while adolescents benefit from programs that address developmental needs and peer dynamics, incorporating support groups to enhance recovery. Personalized rehabilitation programs are integral to effective recovery, leveraging tailored strategies that align with each individual's unique journey.
[20] The Benefits of a Personalized Rehab Plan for Each Patient — Today, personalized rehabilitation plans are revolutionizing patient care, offering tailored solutions that enhance recovery outcomes and improve overall quality of life.

[145] Personalized Care Plans: Tailoring Services to Individual Needs — Developing a personalized care plan requires healthcare providers to thoroughly assess a patient’s characteristics, which include their medical history, existing health conditions, and lifestyle factors. By actively involving the patient in the decision-making process, healthcare providers can ensure that the care plan respects the patient’s autonomy and aligns with their personal beliefs and priorities. By involving the patient in the decision-making process, healthcare professionals can ensure that the care plan aligns with the patient’s values, preferences, and goals, ultimately creating a sense of ownership over their health journey. By consistently evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and revisiting patient preferences and goals, healthcare providers can ensure that the care plan continues to meet the evolving needs of each individual.

[166] Rehabilitation Goals and Effects of Goal Achievement on Outcome ... — They argued that because of this, an important task for the rehabilitation team is to specify the goals by breaking them down into smaller and more specific components while still ensuring that they correspond to the initial goal of the patient.22 Muller et al performed research in patients in the acute phase in hospitals and found that patients tend to express their views and goals in very general phrases.26 They also concluded that it is the health professionals who must clarify the general goals in a more detailed way and deconstruct them into components that can be addressed by therapy.26,27,50 Locke and Latham’s goal-setting theory states that specific, high (challenging) goals lead to a higher level of task performance than do easy goals or vague, abstract goals, such as the exhortation to “do one’s best”.51 Knowing this and that the rehabilitation team at BHC is trained in goal-setting, we expected the descriptor code ndph to decrease from the process of setting individual goals to that of setting negotiated goals with the rehabilitation team, which did not occur.

We posit that the client's
[172] Facilitators and barriers to patient-centred goal-setting in ... — Collaborative goal-setting is a fundamental aspect of patient-centred rehabilitation, but healthcare providers (herein referred to as HCPs) have been slow to adopt it in practice.1–11 Providers are often motivated to lead goal-setting to achieve expected professional and/or organizational outcomes.1–4 In contrast, patient-centred goal-setting involves clients in a process of goal identification and agreement, respecting client values and preferences, and resulting in personally meaningful outcomes that are measured and reported.6 Patient-centred goal-setting helps providers and patients focus their behaviour on meaningful outcomes that improve the patient's quality of life.1–4,7 Evidence shows engaging patients in goal-setting improves their confidence, motivation, and satisfaction with rehabilitation.1–4,7 Providers benefit from the enhanced patient participation and improved team functioning resulting from a collaborative approach to goal-setting, which contributes to improved client outcomes.1–4,6,7 This evidence is based on two systematic reviews about the effectiveness of patient-centred goal-setting in adult stroke rehabilitation.1,2 In a Cochrane review,4 the authors found that there is reasonable support for the effectiveness of a structured approach to goal-setting and its benefits, but the results were inconclusive due to the low methodological quality and study heterogeneity.1,2,7 Also, the disparate language and terminology in these reviews makes it difficult to conclusively assess which barriers and facilitators are most frequently identified, and the knowledge gaps that need to be further studied.7
