Abstract

An essential but often overlooked component of health care is rehabilitation. Relevant to the needs of people with many health conditions and those experiencing disability across the lifespan, rehabilitation services should be integrated as part of a high quality coordinated approach to healthcare delivery. The World Health Organization (WHO) released a Call For Action with Rehabilitation 2030, acknowledging that greater access to rehabilitation services is required to "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" (Sustainable Development Goal [SDG] 3). It also contributes to SDG Target 3.8 of "achiev[ing] universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all". In this proposal we will directly address SDG 3 by establishing a new United States (US)Brazil partnership to explore strategies and policies to integrate rehabilitation into the larger healthcare delivery infrastructure. In doing so the value of rehabilitation, including the current FAPESP project outcomes, will be more fully realized as a measurable benefit to integrated and coordinated care. Together we will focus our efforts on four patient populations in the US and Brazil, identify meaningful indicators of functioning and health, and explore future opportunities for collaborative research on health and healthcare improvement across countries.
