SCI specific webportal to achieve favourable Community-health Outcomes: What should be included?
Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is confronted with all kinds of short and long term problems in functioning after discharge from an initial rehabilitation. Many of the consequences associated with SCI do not result from the condition itself, but from inadequate medical care and rehabilitation services, and from barriers in the physical, social and policy environments. The need for continuing care for persons with SCI living in the community/home is essential.
Community-health Outcomes and Personalised Exercises/Education (COPE) workshop is a joint venture initiative of Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC), India and University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. COPE is an SCI specific web-portal that will assist to achieve favourable community-health outcomes after SCI.
This workshop aims to discuss the parameters and finalize the domains required to assist community inclusion techniques after SCI. This workshop shall include the round table discussion between different stakeholders includes caregivers, consumers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rehab physicians and doctors on the following:
Identify the lacunae and important topics on which people with SCI shall require information during home /community inclusion.
Content specification of the web-portal by open discussion.
Formulation of SCI database repository
