An Initial Needs Assessment is the foundation of effective rehabilitation. It identifies how an injury affects an individual’s physical, psychological, cognitive, vocational and social functioning, providing a clear understanding of current needs and future rehabilitation goals.
Conducted by experienced rehabilitation clinicians under doctor-led clinical governance, every assessment delivers evidence-based recommendations that are proportionate, independent and tailored to the individual.
The assessment also provides claimant solicitors, defendant solicitors and insurers with an objective clinical foundation for informed rehabilitation and funding decisions.
Every Initial Needs Assessment includes:
Independent clinical assessment. Doctor-led clinical governance.
Effective rehabilitation begins with accurate assessment.
Unlike traditional Initial Needs Assessments completed by a single case manager, Medicess combines multidisciplinary expertise with doctor-led clinical governance to ensure rehabilitation needs are identified comprehensively and recommendations remain clinically appropriate, proportionate and focused on functional recovery.
Every recommendation is subject to independent clinical oversight, providing confidence that rehabilitation plans are objective, evidence-based and tailored to the individual’s circumstances.
Every case benefits from medical oversight from the outset. Our doctors help identify rehabilitation needs early, provide clinical direction and support informed decision-making throughout recovery.
