Definition
Percentage of people with complex needs because of injury who accessed multidisciplinary rehabilitation per year in the country. Complex needs refer to needs that arise from having significant or multiple health conditions that impact on various domains of functioning. For this indicator, multidisciplinary rehabilitation constitutes three or more rehabilitation professions assessing and potentially treating the client. Identifying a reliable denominator may depend on the established data sources in the country, for this reason it is suggested that people with complex health needs due to injury – not illness – be measured.
