8.3.3.2 Rehabilitation facilities<br />

Rehabilitation <strong>is</strong> organized <strong>in</strong> acute hospital sett<strong>in</strong>gs as well as <strong>in</strong> 24 Rehabilitation<br />

Centres throughout the country cc and a part <strong>in</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes. In both cases, the<br />

service can be <strong>in</strong>- or out-patient dd . Of the 24 Dutch Rehabilitation Centers, 14 are<br />

connected to University Hospitals (“Academ<strong>is</strong>er<strong>in</strong>gsovereenkomst”) and have an<br />

agreement to do research and organize teach<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong>y are considered to be “top<br />

reference centres”. 144<br />

24 regional rehabilitation centres and hospital departments offer specialized<br />

rehabilitation services ee .<br />

Most Dutch hospitals have a policl<strong>in</strong>ic function for rehabilitation medic<strong>in</strong>e, <strong>in</strong> which a<br />

staff of physical therap<strong>is</strong>ts, occupational therap<strong>is</strong>t and social workers <strong>is</strong> employed. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

services operate generally <strong>in</strong> close collaboration <strong>with</strong> acute <strong>in</strong>tramural rehabilitation<br />

departments.<br />

Rehabilitation hospitals/centers are establ<strong>is</strong>hed for longer term <strong>in</strong>tensive rehabilitation.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir activities are fall<strong>in</strong>g under the “cure” compartment (ZVW). However for some<br />

categories they currently still provide rehabilitation fall<strong>in</strong>g under the “care”<br />

compartment (AWBZ), which <strong>is</strong> generally offered <strong>in</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g facilities.<br />

Nurs<strong>in</strong>g facilities can also provide <strong>in</strong>tramural and policl<strong>in</strong>ical rehabilitation services.<br />

Somatic nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes (verpleeghuizen) are for d<strong>is</strong>abled people <strong>in</strong> need of cont<strong>in</strong>uous<br />

multid<strong>is</strong>cipl<strong>in</strong>ary monitor<strong>in</strong>g, care and treatment. <strong>The</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes aim <strong>in</strong> particular at<br />

an older population of patients, that are not eligible for a policl<strong>in</strong>ical treatment or for<br />

which the <strong>in</strong>tensive treatments <strong>in</strong> a rehabilitation cl<strong>in</strong>ic <strong>is</strong> judged as be<strong>in</strong>g not<br />

opportune. Moreover, the bed-capacity of the rehabilitation centres <strong>is</strong> too limited to<br />

accept th<strong>is</strong> older patient group. But the rehabilitation activities <strong>in</strong> the nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes<br />

should also focus on reactivation. <strong>The</strong> somatic nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes have a multid<strong>is</strong>cipl<strong>in</strong>ary<br />

staff cons<strong>is</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g of physiotherap<strong>is</strong>ts, occupational therap<strong>is</strong>ts, speech therap<strong>is</strong>ts and<br />

psycholog<strong>is</strong>ts. Certa<strong>in</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes offer policl<strong>in</strong>ical services, generally focus<strong>in</strong>g “day<br />

care”, more than on active rehabilitation.<br />

Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to the <strong>in</strong>tegration and coord<strong>in</strong>ation of facilities<br />

<strong>in</strong> order to provide more cont<strong>in</strong>uity of care for the patient (“ontschott<strong>in</strong>g van de zorg”)<br />

One of the most important area’s <strong>in</strong> the context of th<strong>is</strong> project, <strong>is</strong> the development of<br />

networks for stroke, more recently labeled as stroke services (see <strong>in</strong>fra).<br />

8.3.3.3 Indication sett<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Patients <strong>in</strong> rehabilitation <strong>in</strong>stitutions need an <strong>in</strong>dication sett<strong>in</strong>g 145 for a multid<strong>is</strong>cipl<strong>in</strong>ary<br />

<strong>in</strong>tensive approach, (for diagnostics, advice or treatment)<br />

<strong>The</strong> criteria used for <strong>in</strong>dication sett<strong>in</strong>g are based on:<br />

• the expected level of recovery;<br />

• the multiplicity of the (expected) impairments or handicap, comb<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

<strong>with</strong> the complexity of the rehabilitation goals put forward, tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to<br />

account the life-course stage and the premorbid level of the patient;<br />

• the learn<strong>in</strong>g capacity and tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g capacity of the patient<br />

• the potential of a patient to live <strong>in</strong> a regular (adapted) hous<strong>in</strong>g and<br />

liv<strong>in</strong>g situation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>dication sett<strong>in</strong>g <strong>is</strong> developed accord<strong>in</strong>g to a standardized model (SAMPC<br />

(somatic) and/or RAP (mobility)), but <strong>is</strong> not us<strong>in</strong>g scales on a systematic bas<strong>is</strong>. <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>dications for treatment by a rehabilitation special<strong>is</strong>t are conf<strong>in</strong>ed to d<strong>is</strong>orders of the<br />

musculoskeletal system or the nervous system (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g cognition, communication and<br />
