Provides examples of good practice in rehabilitation services and to highlights the common elements that have contributed to improved patient outcomes. Rehabilitation and reablement are defined as 'the restoration, to the maximum degree possible, of an individual’s function and/or role, both mentally and physically, within their family and social networks and within the workplace where appropriate.' The case studies cover three thematic areas: developing a rehabilitation strategy; integrated services; and specialist models. A number of common rehabilitation-specific elements were identified in the case studies reviewed, which may provide wider learning. These include: integrated service models with health and social care; single point of assessment or referral; early intervention; self-management; self-referral; and flexibility of workforce.
