Guide for rehabilitation workforce evaluation


Book Description

The Guide for Rehabilitation Workforce Evaluation (GROWE) comprises a suite of resources that can be applied in countries to provide information to support planning and advocacy at the national or subnational level. GROWE applies a labour market and competency analysis approach to help stakeholders in countries not only capture the state of the rehabilitation workforce, but to understand the problems and opportunities that the system and workers are facing. GROWE requires an investment of time and resources that may not be warranted in every country, depending on the maturity and coverage of the rehabilitation workforce. GROWE may have application in countries which are looking to strengthen an emerging professional multidisciplinary rehabilitation workforce, and where there are some paid rehabilitation jobs in the health system. It is unlikely to be applicable in countries where there are no or very few (such as only one or two) professional rehabilitation occupations in the country and services are staffed by international workers, and where there is no investment in rehabilitation jobs.










Handbook of Vocational Rehabilitation and Disability Evaluation


Book Description

This book presents the state of the art in the application and implementation of the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in the areas of vocational rehabilitation as a primary topic and disability evaluation as a secondary topic. Application of the ICF and implementation strategies toward a holistic and comprehensive approach to work disability and vocational rehabilitation programs are presented along with clinical cases and exercises. The ICF as a topic in health and disability has been gaining momentum since its approval by the World Health Assembly in 2001, and great progress has been made since then. However, the integration if the ICF in the realm of vocational rehabilitation has been lacking despite the fact that work and employment are a major area in people's lives, particularly those who have work disability. This book will advance the professional practice of vocational rehabilitation, rehabilitation counseling, occupational medicine, and allied health science.

Rehabilitation indicator menu


Book Description

This document contains the second edition of the WHO Rehabilitation Indicator Menu (RIM), which is a tool accompanying the Framework for Rehabilitation Monitoring and Evaluation (FRAME) guidance. The FRAME guidance is part of the WHO Rehabilitation in health systems – guide for action. FRAME guides users through Phase 3 of a four-phase process that supports governments in strengthening rehabilitation in their health systems. Once a national rehabilitation strategic plan is produced, a monitoring framework should be developed to track the progress of the plan and its desired outcomes against selected indicators, which are central to a monitoring framework. RIM contains a list of standard indicators for the monitoring of countries’ rehabilitation status and helps countries to select the indicators for their (sub)national monitoring framework. The indicators can also be used when monitoring rehabilitation in other situations, including when rehabilitation is integrated into the monitoring framework of a national health strategic plan.
