“Best Practice”

Hi, Well I have not written for a while but I have a question and I hope you can help me. Our service is undergoing a review, particularly allied health staff members and the “big” managers are bench marking our service. We have a period where we can put submissions forward. I was wondering if anyone had research regarding why rehab is important, why allied health, particularly occupational therapists are crucial to rehab, both inpatient and community services. Basically I am asking for any research that supports rehabilitation, particularly with neurological conditions. I look forward to your comments and assistance with this.
