BACKGROUNDRevalidatie Nederland is the trade association of rehabilitation institutions. In recent years, the affiliated institutions have collected a lot of data (more than 30 million records) about the treatment process of patients in a time registration project.
APPROACH
We have analyzed part of this data for Revalidatie Nederland. In doing so, we have specifically looked at whether it was possible to distinguish specific patient groups within certain diagnoses, and to identify characteristics for treatment trajectories from them. For example: is it possible to distinguish a treatment trajectory for patients with Non-Congenital Brain Injury and a cognitive disorder?
RESULTS
The results of the analysis were discussed at the member meetings of Rehabilitation Netherlands and the Association of Rehabilitation Physicians, where it was decided to use the insights from the analysis for further development of data collection and analysis by rehabilitation institutions.
