Defining Attributes
Definition
Rehabilitation in the community is the delivery of rehabilitation interventions in community settings, such as homes, community centres, schools and other locations. Definitions of "community" should reflect how and where rehabilitation is delivered in that country. For example, it could include community outreach therapy posts, mobile clinics, or nongovernmental organisations contracted by government to deliver rehabilitation in communities. These measures are used as tracer criteria for availability of rehabilitation services.
Numerator
Varies, but may include: • Number of districts covered by community outreach rehabilitation personnel • Number of districts where rehabilitation mobile clinics are regularly held. This may then require a set time period, for example over a 12 month period. It is also possible to count the number of districts in which home visits occur. However, the risk of onerous data collection should be avoided.
