Brief summary

The purpose of this observational study is to investigate whether discharge plans for patients undergoing rehabilitation that are put in place prior to patients’ discharge actually meet patients’ requirements and expectations following discharge.

Interventions

Usual rehabilitation (both in-patient and, if required, out-patient) will not change as a result of this study. This includes comprehensive discharge planning by the multidisciplinary team. Follow-up will occur 1-2 months after discharge from the rehabilitation facility.
