CASE MANAGEMENT
A Person-Centred Approach TO REHABILITATION Unite Professionals Limited, put the client front and centre of their rehab journey, this is key to achieving a best possible outcome.
U
nite Professionals have been supporting individuals following catastrophic injury since 2010. With national coverage, our team of highly skilled Case Managers have specialist clinical knowledge and experience in working with clients who have sustained traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. Through early intervention (our InReach service) and Immediate Needs Assessment (INA) to understand the impact of the injuries sustained on the individual’s life, our case managers will ensure that rehabilitation goals are established early in collaboration with the client. In major trauma, rehabilitation is not one dimensional. It is a complex interplay of what makes us human including physical, emotional, cognitive, social, work and more. Understanding the bigger picture of what a truly holistic approach looks like is essential to give the individual the best possible opportunity to make the best possible recovery. Let’s look at traumatic brain injury (TBI) as an example: The individual might be working with a therapist on improving their functional performance within their daily activities using cognitive strategies, and engaging in brain injury education. At the same time another practitioner is arranging imaging to look for underlying pathology to explain the headaches or addressing mood related changes. Without a conductor assimilating this clinical information and bringing these practitioners together to agree the
optimum approach, the client can be left to navigate conflicting and confusing messages from multiple sources leading to disengagement or a tighter grasp on unhelpful, limiting beliefs.
WHY USE UNITE PROFESSIONALS? All at Unite Professionals are committed to providing a culture of collaborative case management service to advocate for and enable clients access to what they need to achieve best possible outcome. As an independently owned business we are able to make informed choices on specific rehabilitation intervention providers best suited to the client’s needs, not just treatment networks.
