Customized rehabilitation pathways through an interdisciplinary approach

REHA TICINO's rehabilitation concept is based on what is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO/WHO). According to the WHO, rehabilitation basically includes the implementation of all measures that are designed to avoid or reduce the consequences of diseases or accidents on individual functional capacities and social, cultural and occupational participation.

In the strictly health care setting, the goal of rehabilitation is to reduce, partially or totally, the "deficit" that makes a person disabled, through the use of functions that have remained intact, so that he or she can "live" to the fullest extent of his or her abilities. The focus is on regaining the participatory capacity of the individual being rehabilitated, which can be achieved through an interdisciplinary approach aimed at reintegration and an all-inclusive view of the person.

Through rehabilitation intervention, a process of problem-solving and education is activated in the course of which a person is led to achieve the best possible standard of living on a physical, functional, social and emotional level, with the least possible restriction of his or her daily operational choices. In response to the growing demand for person-oriented and high-quality services, REHA TICINO has for years, through the tool of patient pathways or diagnostic care pathways, sought to shift the center of gravity of care from the needs of individual professional groups to those of patients. Indeed, patient pathways are able to ensure uniform treatments and well-defined levels of appropriateness of care, without precluding individual, safe and effective rehabilitation projects.
