They and their families are challenged by the barriers that are placed on their participation in social and economic life. The care and support needs of this cohort of people are individualised and varied, and present a challenge to the health and personal social services, as well as to the wider public services. I clearly see and recognise the impact that rehabilitation can play in ensuring that people with neurological presentations can live the life of their choice to the greatest extent possible. Historically, the focus and content of interventions has been on the individual and their limitations. Progressively, this focus and associated model of care has been challenged: today, the focus is on a more holistic social model, where the regime of supports and services is determined by reference to the environment within which the person lives, informed by the diagnosis. Accordingly, the responses to the individualised need are generally described as a continuum of supports and services, which may be accessed at different stages depending on the need at a particular time. Indeed, at certain stages along this continuum, the primary need and response may not reside within the remit of the health and personal social services, and therein lies the challenge to the wider system and to the need for more collaborative working. While the focus of the supports and services is on the individual, there is evidence that significant economic benefits can accrue to society from investment in rehabilitation. I am impressed by the work of the many voluntary agencies that have been to the fore in responding to the needs of particular diagnostic cohorts. The challenge now is to ensure that the content of provision is appropriate to each individual, that the structure of provision facilitates this and that there is an appropriate governance framework. This very important report, commissioned jointly by the Department of Health and the Health Service Executive (HSE), sets out a clear policy with a recommended service framework that, when implemented, will ensure we meet our obligations to those we serve in the most appropriate, most effective and most efficient way. I look forward to receiving, at a very early stage, a comprehensive implementation plan from the HSE. I wish to thank all those who have contributed to the development of this National Neuro-Rehabilitation Policy and Strategy and I would ask that all stakeholders commit to its implementation. Kathleen Lynch, TD Minister for Disability, Equality, Mental Health and Older People November 2011 vii9 Acknowledgements Many people were involved in the development of this policy. Thanks are due to the members of the Working Group who worked together in coordinating and guiding the nature and direction of the policy (see Appendix 1); also to the advice and expert opinion obtained from four international experts in the field, whose contribution added significantly to the production of this report; and also to the Neurological Alliance of Ireland, which contributed to the process through the provision of an interface with the non-statutory sectoral providers. Members of the Working Group were responsible for carrying out the evidence review and analysis that informed the writing of this report and they have commented on each draft. Since the report outlines both the policy and strategy for the provision of neuro-rehabilitation services, both the Department of Health and the HSE have shared ownership of the report. A Steering Group was also established, made up of the relevant management in the HSE and Department of Health (see Appendix 1). It met on three occasions and its role was to ensure that the policy was consistent with the current strategic direction established for the health services. The group made important contributions to the proposals for implementation of this policy (see Chapter 11). A large number of people from service providers to service users and their advocates contributed in various ways through the consultation process held to inform this policy (see Appendix 2 for list of submissions). All the information gathered from this exercise was not only used in the development of this document, but will be used as a baseline in informing further work in this area. Lastly, credit is due to those involved in authoring and editing the document: Dr. Jane Whelan and Dr. Ina Kelly (Specialist Registrars in Public Health Medicine who were working in the Department of Health) carried out significant work in preparing this policy document; Dr. Fionnuala Cooney (Specialist Registrar working in the Department of Health) conducted a review of the health economics literature; and Ms. Diane Nurse, HSE Social Inclusion, made a significant contribution to the final draft, with input from Dr. Philip Crowley of the Department of Health. Finally, thanks are due to Ms. Eithne Breathnach and Ms. Mags Dorney of the Disability Services in the Department of Health for their support in ensuring that the work of the Group was brought to a conclusion. James O Grady Chairperson Working Group on Neuro-Rehabilitation Policy and Strategy viii10 Glossary of terms Multidisciplinary teams: This refers to people from different disciplines working together for the benefit of the service user. Integral to the process are communication, collaborative assessments and formulation of integrated goals which take account of environment and participation. Neuro-rehabilitation: A problem-solving process in which the person who experiences a neurological impairment or loss of function acquires the knowledge, skills and supports needed for their optimal physical, psychological, social and economic functioning. Primary care: An approach to care that includes a range of services designed to keep people well, from promotion of health and screening for disease, to assessment, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, as well as personal social services. The services provide first-level contact that is fully accessible by self-referral and have a strong emphasis on working with communities and individuals to improve their health and social well-being. Self-management: This refers to individuals taking responsibility for their own physical and emotional health and well-being, and includes staying fit and healthy, taking action to prevent illness and accident, using medicine appropriately, seeking prompt treatment for minor physical and emotional ailments, and self-managing long-term conditions appropriately. Teamwork: Service providers working together to provide a unified service, regardless of their employing body. Supervision or other professional requirements of team members within their own professional disciplines may involve people outside the team, but should support team-working. Administrative structures should also support team-working. Transdisciplinary working: A transdisciplinary team involves two or more people, including family members, working together to better understand and more effectively and efficiently address the needs of the child and family. Through collaboration, consensus-building, regular and open communication, and expanding roles across discipline boundaries, team members plan and provide integrated services for children and families. Vocational rehabilitation: This can be defined as enabling individuals with either temporary or permanent disability to access, return to or remain in employment. It involves medical, psychological, social and occupational activities aiming to re-establish among sick or injured people their working capacity and needs for returning to valued social, occupational and economic activity. ix11 12 Executive Summary13 Executive Summary Chapter 1: Methodology and structure of report This report is the output of the Working Group jointly established by the Secretary General, Department of Health (then the Department of Health and Children), and the Chief Executive of the Health Service Executive (HSE) to develop a policy and strategy for the rehabilitation of those persons with a neurological presentation or with a significant physical disability. The Working Group was supported in its work by: a number of sub-groups, established to give a detailed consideration and analysis of 5 exemplar conditions that accounted for up to 80% of the cohort being considered (see Appendix 1); four high-status international experts, who reviewed various position papers; the Neurological Alliance of Ireland, which provided much advice and acted as a conduit with those non-statutory agencies involved in neurorehabilitation; a comprehensive consultation process with stakeholders (see Appendix 2 for list of submissions); a Steering Group, representative of the Department of Health and the HSE (see Appendix 1). The following pages summarise the main points in each chapter of the report. PART 1: CURRENT NEURO-REHABILITATION SERVICES Chapter 2: Key characteristics and considerations of neuro-rehabilitation services Neurological illness or injury has significant implications for the individual and their family, and impacts on their social, educational, vocational and recreational participation. It is essential that high-quality, cost-effective rehabilitation in all its facets is available and is geared towards empowering the individual and their family in maintaining optimal participation in society. Thus it is important that the continuum of services and supports required are made available by the health system and by those other State agencies that have both an opportunity and an obligation to provide specific services, consistent with their statutory remit. Current health-provided neuro-rehabilitation services are provided across a range of settings, by different organisations and by many health professionals and carers. 214 Executive Summary It is well-established and acknowledged that, historically, neuro-rehabilitation services have been underdeveloped and where they exist, have been developed in an ad hoc manner, primarily by the voluntary sector. Where services have been developed by the statutory health system, the focus of provision has been on medical rehabilitation, which, while most important, is not comprehensive. It is also a feature of current provision that many of the services and service structures are condition-specific, with access to some also determined by reference to age within the adult cohort. Information on the prevalence and numbers requiring and benefiting from neurorehabilitation in Ireland is scarce. Similarly, there are many societal changes, changing family structures and patterns, as well as the many advances in medicine and related specialties, that are impacting on people presenting with neurological conditions. This, in turn, has placed increasing responsibility and obligations on the health and wider support services, and highlights the need for evidence-based planning and associated utilisation of resources. At an individual level, the impact of not receiving appropriate and timely services and supports can include deterioration in function and the associated physical and psychological sequelae. At a system level, it can lead to increased hospital admissions, with consequential delayed discharges and with many of the early advances negated by the absence of downstream services. Research on the health economics of neuro-rehabilitation, which though small and narrow, indicates that there are substantial benefits to be had from such services and that models of community-based provision surpass conventional hospital-based services in terms of economic efficiency. General research clearly supports early intervention, both in terms of personal outcomes for the individual and also the reduced costs to the system. Key messages from the consultation exercise In total, 77 submissions were received and analysed under key themes, which included: The absence of and inability to traverse the healthcare system, particularly post-discharge from in-patient services. Services should be needs-led, regardless of age and diagnosis. The absence of a team approach in the management regime, with many of the professionals not having the competency to meet the assessed need. The absence of rehabilitation services in nursing homes. The need to involve families and carers as active members of the rehabilitation team. Under-utilisation of essential aids, appliances and, in particular, assistive technologies. Concerns at the sustainability of current models and structures. 315 National Policy and Strategy for the Provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services in Ireland It is clear that in the current economic climate and given changing demographics and enhanced expectations, there is an urgent need for new policy and service frameworks. In the short to medium term, the focus has to be on reconfiguration of services, structures and resources, and the enhancement of the skills and competencies required to meet the changing context. In summary, any new policy and service frameworks must have clear service objectives and outcomes, with a governance framework that facilitates these in the most efficient way. It is the changing expectations of those served and their families that dictates the need to review what we do and how it is done, and to ensure that the right services and supports are provided and that they are provided in the right way. In essence, people are demanding services and supports that enable them to live the life of their choice. Chapter 3: Purpose, scope and vision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Policy and Strategy Currently, there is no single policy that informs practice. However, there are numerous operational policies self-determined by agencies, professions and service settings that have a focus on sustaining a particular sectoral interest. The commissioners of the present report indicated that its purpose and scope was to provide a single national policy and strategy to guide, govern and determine service response and structure. Based on the analysis of current practice and the wider context, a policy and strategy framework is being recommended here to express specific policy objectives for people presenting with neurological or other significantly disabling conditions, and for services to support the achievement of these objectives. The vision proposed is that people presenting with neuro-rehabilitation needs are supported to participate as fully as possible in the social and economic life of their community and have access to a range of quality services and supports so as to enhance their quality of life and well-being. The vision is underpinned by key principles and values, and has two overarching goals: Goal 1 is to provide a service that is LITI, meaning: Local Rehabilitation where I need it. Individualised Rehabilitation the way I need it. Timely Rehabilitation when I need it. Integrated Rehabilitation should I need it. 416 Executive Summary The underpinning principles of Goal 1 are: person-centred; dignity and respect; service user participation; responsive to need; access to information. Goal 2 is the creation of a flexible, responsive and accountable system that will fully support the realisation of Goal 1, with the following underpinning principles: equity; person-centred; effective; efficient; quality; accountable and transparent; responsive. Chapter 4: Strategic context for developing a Neuro-Rehabilitation Policy and Strategy The development of a national policy and strategy should be viewed against a background of the Department of Health s National Health Strategy (2001a), which advocates a whole-system approach to improving health and social gain in Ireland. This approach is mirrored in the HSE s Transformation Programme , which identifies the need to develop an integrated health and social care model. It must be noted that the HSE is very reliant on its partnership arrangements with the non-statutory sector to provide a wide range of services and supports in the area of neuro-rehabilitation. It is essential that those tasked with implementing the new policy and strategy ensure that the roles and functions of the statutory and non-statutory sectors are complementary rather than competitive, thus ensuring that available resources and capacity are mobilised for the optimal rehabilitation provision of all people with needs consistent with their neurological presentations. There are numerous national and international legislative and policy frameworks that govern disability and rehabilitation provision, including: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability (2008); United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989); Equal Status Acts (2000); Disability Act 2005 (2005); National Health Strategy (2001); National Audit of Stroke Care (2008); National Cardiovascular Health Policy (2010). 517 National Policy and Strategy for the Provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services in Ireland PART 2: PLANNING TOWARDS EFFECTIVE NEURO-REHABILITATION SERVICES Chapter 5: Needs analyses and mapping of neuro-rehabilitation service provision in Ireland Needs analyses The inadequacy of current information collection and application of data, together with the even more limited information on prevalence rates, provides a major barrier to quantification of the numbers of people needing access to neurorehabilitation in Ireland. In recognition of this, additional measures were taken by the Working Group to strengthen and inform an evidence-based development of this policy. Five of the more common neurological conditions were selected for detailed review and analysis, so as to more fully inform the types of service needs across a continuum of care. The 5 conditions selected were: acquired brain injury (other than stroke); cerebral palsy; multiple sclerosis; idiopathic Parkinson s disease; spinal cord injury. The needs assessment process identified: The benefits of early, intensive, coordinated rehabilitation. Settings for services need to be determined by reference to the complexity of the condition, by the competencies of the providers in such settings and by the phase of the neuro-rehabilitation. In that context: acquired brain injury is deemed to be a high-prevalence condition with variable complexity; cerebral palsy is a moderate prevalence condition, presenting in childhood with variable complexity; idiopathic Parkinson s disease is a moderate condition with variable complexity; multiple sclerosis is moderately prevalent with variable complexity; spinal cord injury is a low-incidence, high-complexity condition. Mapping of neuro-rehabilitation service provision in Ireland A national mapping exercise was carried out as part of the work of the Working Group in order to identify the service gaps and deficits. The exercise proved particularly challenging when trying to determine dedicated resources in generic health settings. Key issues and conclusions from the mapping exercise were: Due to lack of validation of data submitted, it was not possible to map out precisely the levels of services being provided. There were a very high number of condition-specific service settings, with some settings also confining access to certain adult age cohorts. 618 Executive Summary Specialist in-patient services are mostly concentrated at national level. Services in the community, although not inconsiderable, are very fragmented and many of them are in specialist settings, with little, if any, coordination. It is acknowledged that because of the significant fragmentation, the structure of provision may well be a contributor to the lack of services. The current service procurement arrangements in place between the HSE and voluntary service providers are also a contributor to the fragmentation and inequity of provision since the various service arrangements are based on organisations mission statements and competencies, rather than on the service specification of the HSE. Chapter 6: Pointing the way to a national model of service delivery Arising from the needs analyses, the service mapping project and general consultation, a number of key issues have been identified that need to be considered in putting forward any service improvement proposal: accessing services; service delivery structure; promoting health and social gain; factors underpinning planning and service delivery; measuring service effectiveness, efficiency and value for money. Review by international experts The Working Group submitted a number of draft position papers to the four international experts advising on the neuro-rehabilitation policy and their comments and recommendations were most helpful in informing the final output from the Group. Their recommendations included: The need to reconfigure around a more generic neuro-rehabilitation structure. The need to have a formal connection between the different stages along the continuum of supports. In promoting an integrated model, a hub and spoke structure was strongly recommended, as long as resources are appropriately aligned. Neuro-rehabilitation services need to be person-centred since the need cannot be predicted by reference to the underlying diagnosis. Community-based services must have access to and be supported by a regional team, which, in turn, should be led by a clinician who has the vision and the confidence of both the regional and community teams. 719 National Policy and Strategy for the Provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services in Ireland PART 3: A FRAMEWORK FOR FUTURE SERVICE PROVISION Chapter 7: Proposed framework for neuro-rehabilitation service provision Neuro-rehabilitation is a continuum of services and supports that will require responses to individual need at local, regional and national level, with the following key characteristics: Access to services along the continuum must be determined and informed by clear referral and practice protocols that are developed nationally and that have to be implemented consistently across the system. The structure and protocols must maximise the natural supports that are available both in the home and in the community. Service flexibility and continuity must ensure that individuals may enter the services at a stage in the continuum that is most appropriate to meeting their need at the particular time. An appropriate management and governance arrangement must be put in place. While the focus of the work of the Working Group was on the health components of the policy and strategy, it is critical from the individual perspective that those State agencies with an obligation to provide non-health supports commit to supporting the individual to overcome those barriers to participation by virtue of their disability. Chapter 8: Key approaches underpinning the proposed neuro-rehabilitation service framework A key prerequisite to having an appropriate neuro-rehabilitation service is the existence of a high-quality neurological service that will ensure timely and accurate diagnosis and timely referrals to neuro-rehabilitation. The building blocks for a service framework include the following elements working together: incorporation of health prevention and promotion strategies; the development of managed networks that will ensure and promote excellence and consistency, and that will support integration; a community-based rehabilitation approach; clear linkages and pathways across service levels and settings; increased use of research and technology; establishment of an agreed quality framework; intersectoral commitment. 820 Executive Summary Chapter 9: Range of service provision in the proposed neuro-rehabilitation service framework The future model will offer a clear continuum of services and supports that will be provided at local, regional and national level, depending on complexity and volume. These services and supports will be accessed at: Primary Care Teams, where services will be general in content with low to moderate intensity therapy. Geographic-based Community Neuro-Rehabilitation Teams, where specialised services will be provided to those with moderate to high-intensity therapy needs. Regional neuro-rehabilitation services with access through acute hospitals and directly from the national centre(s) or from the Community-based Teams, and providing high-intensity in-patient therapy and out-patient services. National neuro-rehabilitation services, catering for low-incidence, highly complex cases that are beyond the reach and competency of the regional services. Neuro-rehabilitation service for children The approach to services for children is quite distinct from that of adults. Services for children focus on: children with delayed conditions (congenital) who require input to achieve developmental milestones and goals; children with progressive conditions who require input to minimise loss of function; children with traumatic injury who require input to maximise gain and restoration of function. Clear protocols need to be developed to enable the transitioning from paediatric services to adult services. The Working Group reflected on the unique needs of children and the specific obligations to them as provided for in legislation. It was concluded that the best interests of children with neurological presentations and associated needs are best served by including such children within a children s framework. Accordingly, the Working Group has recommended that this cohort needs to be included in the work being done through the reconfiguration of paediatric services. Chapter 10: Assuring quality The need to establish a quality framework has been a recurring theme. This framework will need to incorporate and ensure: clinical effectiveness; staff learning, training and development; staffing levels and integrated workforce planning; accreditation of all services and service settings. 9 View more
