Disablement process | The health impact of disease/illness: Organ level: impairment Individual level: disability Social group/community level: handicap |
Cultural Issues in conceptualization of disability | 1. Disability is viewed differently in various cultures and societies 2. Disabled may be included or excluded depending on these views 3. Changes within cultural/societal areas impact directly on how the disabled are cared for and treated |
Med. Model Focus: | 1.Emphasis is on pathology; cause of the disability lies within the individual 2.Has objective and standardized measurements to define and characterize the condition 3.Goal of treatment is to eliminate illness/ disease/ disability |
Med. model Implications: | ignores the indiv's role and fx within the broader context of society and the env disability not only the result of condition itself, but of limitations, barriers PWD encounter in their social and physical env. client has little/no say in their own tx |
ICF Model | International standard for describing and measuring health and disability Universal classification of functional status related to numerous health conditions Tool for measuring efficiency and effectiveness of rehabilitation services |
ICF model focus: | Focus is on health not on the conseq. of illness Uses the health continuum dealing with PWD and Pw/o D's Promotes the concept of the disability as a result of assets or barriers found within the social or physical environment instead of as a “problem” |
ICF Structure and parts: | Function and Disability: 1.Body function: physiological funct. (mental, sensory, funct. of immune system)/ body structure:anatomical components; structure of nervous system, or cardiovasc. system.) |
ICF Structure and parts: | 2.activity:tasks of actions that individ's carry out in daily life(reading, writing, daily routeine, dressing, bathing) /participation: involvement in activities of daily life or society (social activities, going to school, having a job, engaging in rec. |
ICF Part II of structure | Contextual factors: 1. environmental: more than just the phys env. (building accessibility, accessible transportation) but products and technology(phones and comps), climate, and social environment(attitudes, norms, services) |
ICF part II of structure | 2. Personal factors: gender, race, education, occupation, human factors( past experience, temperament, and other intrinsic characteristics; state of mind) |
ICF "Experience" of disability | focuses on the individual and his or her personal resources, health condition, and individual environment. |
Health: | Health- components of health and components of well being |
Function | Function – all body functions, activities, and participation in society |
Disability | Disability – any impairment, activity limitation, or participation restrictions resulting from a health condition or personal societal, or environmental factors |
Inpairment | Impairment – deviation from certain generally accepted population standards of function (WHO,2001) |
Functional capacity | Degree of disability depends on the individual’s goals as well as the barriers or facilitators that may be present in their physical and social environment |
TR and reconceptualizing disability | Re-conceptualization of chronic illness and disability into the continuum of health and function helps to remove the stigma and isolation seen in the past Focus on funct. capacity rather than deficits provides optimal life experiences for the individual |
Why do we need to understand the structure of our healthcare system? | How we get paid for services Help clients/ pt.s navigate system Maintain health literacy |
Cost of Disability/ GDP | In 2005 the United States spent approximately $2 trillion on health care (16% of GDP) By 2015 the cost is projected to rise to $4 trillion (20% of GDP) |
Funding: Public | Public financing regulated by Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) |
Funding: Private | Private financing through private insurers (traditional insurers & managed care orgs) Out of pocket |
Who Makes Decisions Regarding What Is a Covered Service? | Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS):Federal agency Facility Administrators Allied Health Professionals |
CMS Regulations Inpatient Physical Rehabilitation Inpatient physical rehab facility (IRF) | 7 Screening Criteria for IRF |
7 Screening Criteria for IRF | Close medical supervision 24 hour rehabilitation nursing “3-hour Rule” relatively intense level of rehabilitation services (per day) Multidisciplinary team Coordinated care program Significant practical improvement Realistic treatment goals & object |
What is the 3-hour rule in a rehab setting? | 3-hr rule: 3 hours of therapy for the pt each day, at least one of those therapists have to be a PT or OT. TR is considered to be per diem (lumped into the costs per diem or per day that the patient is paying to stay at the facility) |

What Settings Require Active Treatment? | Inpatient psychiatric services Partial hospitalization services **Inpatient Physical Rehabilitation services (TR) Acute care services Public school systems |
what services are covered and what are not/ why? | will NOT pay or cover… Recreation Diversion Maintenance Comfort We need to make sure our interventions are framed in funct. terms in language and doc. |
