Chronic diseases often lead to disability, impacting health service utilization, hospitalization lengths, and social integration. Traditional diagnoses alone don't account for these complexities. Emphasizing rehabilitation over mere medical intervention can enable individuals with disabilities to maximize their physical, psychological, and social potential. Rehabilitation aims to reduce barriers to participation and support reintegration into society, ultimately minimizing dependency costs. Recognizing access to rehabilitation as a basic human right is essential to improving outcomes for those affected by chronic diseases.

“Diagnosis” alone fails to predict: • service needs(National Advisory Mental Health Council 1993) • length of hospitalization(McCrone and Phelan, 1994) • level of care(Burns, 1991) • outcome of hospitalization(Rabinowitz et al, 1994) • receipt of disability benefits(Massel et al, 1990) • work performance(Gatchel et al, 1994; Massel et al, 1990) • social integration(Ormel et al, 1993).
Dx + “Disability” can predict: • health service utilization (Von Korff et al, 1992; Ormel et al, 1993) • Length of Hospitalization(Horn, 1990) • improvement in functioning after hospitalization(Rabinowitz et al, 1994) • return to work(Hlatky et al, 1986) • work performance(Massel et al, 1990) • recovery of social integration(Tate, 1989)
Major changes in Health care • Prevalence of chronic > ac disease • Focus on consequences of disease, more than on disese itself • Persons w. disability have special needs
Epidemiology of disability • 10% general population (AM Chamberlaine, AB Ward 1996) Indicators: • HALE: Healty Life Expectancy • DALY: Disability-Adjusted Life-Years • Not only based on ethiological diagnoses
Disability => REHABILITATION • DeNayer 1996: “if we resuscitate we rehabilitate” • Rehab. reduces burden of disability for individual and society • Enhances individual functioning and independent living
