Abstract

Rehabilitation Indicators (RI) form a multipart system for assessing the macrofunctioning of patients in medical rehabilitation. The RI system was designed to provide a holistic view of the patient as a means of integrating the diverse data sets that are obtained at present. The computerization of the RI system creates an easily accessible database to optimize intrateam communication and the sharing of information with patients and families, as well as to optimize the service provider's response to increasing demands for accountability. Key Words: Accountability–Computerization–Functional assessment–Patient records.
