The systematic use of the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4) in several rehabilitation establishments in the continuum of traumatology services can support the teams’ clinical decision-making and is in the process of generating a critical mass of data, unprecedented in Quebec. This information will allow us to better understand the functional evolution of users through the phases of the continuum and to take a look at the effectiveness of rehabilitation in order to optimize it.

Medical co-management is used in several clinical programs. Is it really a solution to improve program performance? We will explore the issues of legitimacy of co-management and, more broadly, the issues of performance. We will try to circumscribe the limits of this management model and reflect on the distinction between the administrative and the clinical.

Our sexual life plan adapts, modulates and articulates according to our reality and our hopes. However, when an event occurs that modifies physical abilities, it can be difficult to consider the practice of sexuality again. One of the possible means to facilitate the actualization of the sexuality of people in a situation of rehabilitation is the interdisciplinary intervention. But how do you set up an effective action plan as a worker?

Home risks: evaluation grid and intervention tools

The delivery of services at home presents challenges for workers, users and loved ones since each home is unique and often poorly adapted to the needs of individuals with a loss of autonomy or with disabilities and handicaps.

The purpose of the CISSS de l’Outaouais home risk factor observation grid is to establish safe strategies for users in order to promote safe home care based on a grid shared with the user. and his family and the various stakeholders involved. These observations are then recorded, when required, in the intervention plans and are subject to follow-up within the plan. A regular reassessment of risk factors at home promotes the improvement of the quality of care and services to the user and empowers the latter in the search for a strategy to promote his maintenance in his living environment.
