INA and Rehabilitation Review Service

Quality assurance and clinical governance in rehabilitation

All rehabilitation is not delivered to the same clinical standard. Differences in clinical experience, qualification, leadership and governance directly affect the quality of assessment, recommendation and recovery monitoring.

Where oversight is limited or clinical leadership is inconsistent, the reliability of the Initial Needs Assessment can weaken. Treatment recommendations may lack depth, progress may not be rigorously tracked and evolving symptoms may be under-recognised.

The result is that rehabilitation becomes less dependable, and the standard of care delivered to the patient can be compromised.

The INA and Rehabilitation Review service ensures that assessment is robust, recommendations are clinically sound, recovery is actively monitored and appropriate standards are maintained throughout the life of the claim.

All relevant clinical needs have been identified
The Initial Needs Assessment is thorough and evidence-based
Functional impact has been properly analysed
Recommendations are appropriate and clinically justified
Recovery goals are defined and measurable
