PMID 39073360WHAT IT FOUND
No original patient outcomes are reported.
This evidence brief describes rehabilitation standards and tools for recording patient functioning, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.
What this paper is
This is an evidence brief describing rehabilitation standards and tools for recording and comparing patient functioning, such as service-type frameworks, assessment schedules, individual rehabilitation projects, ClinFIT, and ICSO-R. It also outlines implementation and training ideas. It reports no original methods, no patient sample, and no outcomes, so there is no finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the listed tools as evidence that they improve patient functioning. The brief describes what exists and how it may be used, not original trial results.
