REBAarvioinnit

REBAarvioinnit refers to a systematic process used in Finland for evaluating the need for and implementation of rehabilitation services. The term is an abbreviation derived from "Rehabilitaation tarpeen arviointi" which translates to "assessment of rehabilitation needs." This assessment is a crucial step in ensuring that individuals receive appropriate and timely support to maintain or improve their functional capacity and participation in everyday life, work, and society.

The REBAarvioinnit process is typically carried out by healthcare professionals, often as part of a broader healthcare service or rehabilitation plan. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's health status, functional limitations, social situation, and personal goals. The aim is to identify specific rehabilitation needs and to determine the most suitable types of services, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or psychological support.

The outcome of a REBAarviointi is a personalized rehabilitation plan that outlines the goals, methods, duration, and responsible parties for the rehabilitation. This plan serves as a roadmap for the individual and the rehabilitation team, ensuring coordinated and effective care. The process emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, often involving collaboration between different healthcare professionals, social services, and the individual themselves. Regular reassessments are also part of the REBAarvioinnit framework to monitor progress and adjust the rehabilitation plan as needed.
