Transparency and tuning of rehabilitation care for children with cerebral palsy: A multiple case study in five children with complex needs

Abstract

We conclude that transparency and tuning of the pediatric treatment process described in the present study could be improved substantially. Several suggestions for improving the transparency and tuning of the treatment process are discussed.

The Effectiveness of Skill-Based Intervention for Female Victims of Intimate Partner Violence: A Critical Review

“…Transparency in the intervention process was poor. According to Siebes et al (2007), transparency is comprised of both openness and accountability, and all parties involved should have been clear on the identified occupational performance issues, the treatment process, activities and goals. Upon program completion, participants voiced frustration with the facilitators' inability to secure employment for them.…”

ICF: Clinical relevance for physiotherapy? A critical review

“…They also help comply with administrative demands for transparency. In line with the authors who developed these lists (26,27,31), Siebes et al (43) underlined that the ICF is a valuable tool enabling the thorough documentation Á incorporating all parties' points of view Á which is necessary to subtly identify the patient's problems, and then fine-tune treatment goals and interventions. However, one difficulty mentioned was the practicality of such a tool.…”

“…Nevertheless, we summarized the study type, which provides an informative basis of the articles' quality (Table II). We identified three systematic review articles (45,47,49), one randomized controlled trial (41), three cross-sectional survey (26,34,35), three retrospective cross-sectional studies (27,31,32), seven reports (2,33,36,37,40,46,48), one cohort study (39), one study with repeated measure design (38) and three case studies (42,43,44). This shows that only one experimental study provided information about the topic ''ICF and its integration in a daily activity of physiotherapists''.…”

Goal Attainment Scaling in paediatric rehabilitation: a report on the clinical training of an interdisciplinary team

“…GAS appears to be a sensitive instrument that measures exactly what needs to be measured. The use of GAS in children's rehabilitation treatment has been recommended to improve transparency and co‐ordination with parents during a child's rehabilitation process (Siebes et al . 2007).…”
