Background: Periodic assessment of rehabilitation plans has always been emphasized by the global community and can be a basis for proving the effectiveness of measures undertaken by countries. This study aimed to determine practical evaluation indicators for the “National Plan of Medical Rehabilitation and Its Place in the Health System of the Islamic Republic of Iran” (2021-2025).
Methods: This qualitative applied study was conducted in 2020. At first, the goals, programs, and services foreseen in the national program of medical rehabilitation were identified. Subsequently, the World Health Organization's "list of rehabilitation indicators" was selected as the basis for preparing the initial list of indicators under the goals and programs of the national document. The list of indicators was reviewed during four 2-hour focus group discussion sessions and four 1.5-hour face-to-face interview sessions with different stakeholders and correction suggestions were received. Finally, the revised list was reviewed in two-panel meetings, taking into account the criteria to ensure the appropriateness and adequacy of the indicators to reach the final consensus.
Results: Based on the findings, 44 indicators were extracted under the triple goals of the studied national initiative: 28 indicators were related to inputs and processes (governance, financial and human resources, and information and communication) and 16 indicators were related to outputs (supply of rehabilitation services and medical products and technologies).
Conclusion: The establishment and use of the indicator-based monitoring framework are affected by the capacity of the information technology infrastructure and the quality and validity of the available data. The information system should be developed and strengthened according to the existing gaps. It is suggested that representatives from all target groups and different classes of society participate in future studies. Also, to develop a comprehensive national plan, inter-sectoral cooperation is a necessity.
