Guangdong Rehabilition Base for Persons with disabilities:

A model applicationof icf framework

Zhang Yongan, President of Guangdong Disabled Persons’Federation

I have proudly designed and built the Guangdong Rehabilitation Base for Persons with Disabilities after more than three decades of researchin supporting persons with disabilities.The infrastructure meets the criteria set by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a framework approved by Who states in 2001, with the support of the government.

The Guangdong Rehalition Base for Persons with Disabilities

The Guangdong Rehabilitation Base for Persons with Disabilities has a total construction area of ​​120,000 square meters. It is to be developed in a three-phase process, made available by a total investment of 850 million yuan ($127.45 million). The first phase has been completed and put into use. It has a children's rehabilitation area and an assistive device area. The children's rehabilitation area focuses on providing educational rehabilitation services to 600 children having disabilities related to hearing, vision, intelligence, cerebral palsy and autism.The assistive device area has an assistive device museum with engineering rehabilitation, occupational rehabilitation and social rehabilitation facilities. It provides prosthetics, orthotics and other assistive devices as well as occupational ability appraisal services.

The second phase involves the construction of a 300-bed rehabilitation hospital and aninstitution of rehabilitation sciences (a scientific research institution), a rehabilitation academy focusing on medical rehabilitation, and is expected to be completed in 2023. With the existing 200 beds in the assistive device area, a total of more than 500 beds will be available.The third phase will be a cultural and sports rehabilitation area focusing on sports and art rehabilitation, providing 300 types of cultural and sports rehabilitation training services. This is now under planning. These facilitieswill be connected by corridors and the rehabilitation service in each area will be integrated. Various rehabilitation therapies such as PT, OT, ST, AT and RT as well as educational, social, occupational and other measures will be applied in a comprehensive and coordinated manner In order to enable optimal rehability.

The RehabilitationBase features a terraced, green design. Every plant, every brick and every tile is designed to be part of the rehabilitation processes. The Rehabilitation Base is jointly operated and managed by the Guangdong Educational Rehabilitation Center for Children with Disabilities (Category I institution of Public Welfare) and the guangdongdong rehability hostal (Category II Instification of Public Welfare).

The core of ICF is a modern comprehensive model combining psychological, social and environmental factors based on biomedical model(see the relationship diagram of ICF, ICD, and ICIDH). ICD attempts to address health problems by eliminating symptoms, curing diseases, achieving recovery, and restoring health, while ICF is designed to tackle health problems caused by factors other than diseases, aiming to remove barriers, slowing down functional decline, regaining and maintaining optimal functional status. In health services, ICF and ICD are inseparable and complimentary.The Relationship Diagram of icf, icd and icidh

There are two concepts: disability and rehabilitation. Disability is a dynamic and evolving process, assessed bythe impairment of the interaction between biological individuals and the environment. Rehabilitation refers to the acquisition and maintenance of an optimal state of functions in a person who is or may BE SUFFERING DISABILITIES, Through Assistance Including The Comprehensive and Coordinal Use of a Range of Medical, EduCational, Social and OccuPrational Measures.

University of Health and Rehability Sciences

China has made two major innovations based on WHO's ICF framework, namely setting up the University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and the Rehabilitation Base. The University,established atthe initiative of Zhang Haidi, president of China Disabled Persons'Federation and locatedin Qingdao, Shandong province ,will apply ICF to education. The Rehabilitation Base established by Guangdong province in Guangzhou as a base for clinical teaching and internship involves the practice of the framework in the clinical field. China will also continue to explore the development of disciplines in education based on the ICF framework, and advance the building of a new discipline system for rehabilitation sciences.Guangdong province has stepped up efforts to develop an international model for ICF application in China, and contribute to China's endeavors to create a new discipline system of rehabilitation sciencesand take the lead In international rehability service.

Chinese practice of ICF system theory: Guangdong Province Disabled Rehabilitation Base

Zhang Yongan, Chairman of the Disabled Persons' Federation of Guangdong Province

With the attention of the government, the rehabilitation base is designed and built in accordance with the international advanced concepts advocated by the ICF system theory announced in 2001. It is also a proud work that I have worked in the past 30 years of practical thinking and devoted themselves to the disabled.

The total construction area of ​​the rehabilitation base is 120,000 square meters, and the investment is 850 million yuan. It is divided into three phases of construction. The first phase of the children's rehabilitation zone with educational rehabilitation is 600 disabled for hearing, vision, intelligence, cerebral palsy, and autism. Children provide rehabilitation services, as well as auxiliary device resource areas that integrate engineering rehabilitation, occupational rehabilitation, and social rehabilitation. It provides auxiliary tool adaptation service, professional capacity appraisal and auxiliary device science popularization hall services such as prosthetic artifacts. The second phase of the rehabilitation hospital (300 beds) and the Academy of Rehabilitation Sciences (scientific research institutions), which mainly focuses on medical rehabilitation, integrate the auxiliary device resource area (200 beds) and cultural and sports rehabilitation areas. The third -phase project provides 300 humanities rehabilitation training services based on sports rehabilitation and art rehabilitation. After the completion of the third phase of the project, it will be connected in the form of a corridor. The rehabilitation disciplines of each region will be organically integrated. The comprehensive coordination uses PT, OT, ST, AT, RT and other medical rehabilitation treatment methods, as well as education and society of society and society. A series of measures for occupations to seek the best rehabilitation effect.

The architectural style is a terrace -style green theme. It is booming. The rehabilitation base will be responsible for operation and management by the two public welfare institutions of Guangdong Provincial Disabled Children Education Rehabilitation Center (Class 1) and Guangdong Rehabilitation Hospital (Class 2 Class of Public Welfare).

The core content of the ICF system theory is to integrate psychological, social and environmental factors based on the biomedical model to form a modern comprehensive model. ICD studies to solve the health problems caused by diseases, and ICF research solves health problems caused by non -disease. In the field of health services, leaving ICDs to talk about ICF cannot be reliable. It is not enough to say that ICD does not talk about ICF. The two basic concepts, namely the concept of disability and the concept of rehabilitation. The concept of disability: Disability is a dynamic evolution process. The results of the obstacles of biological individuals and environmental interactions are judged. The concept of rehabilitation: The original meaning of rehabilitation refers to the return to health. Its latest definition refers to a series of measures such as comprehensive and coordinated use of medicine, education, society, and occupation to help individuals who have experienced disability or may experience disability. Obtain and maintain the best functional state in the process of interaction with the environment. The ICF system theory released by WHO in 2001 has produced two major innovation results in Chinese practice and specific applications: rehabilitation university and rehabilitation base. Under the advocacy of the chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, the rehabilitation university established by the country in Qingdao, Shandong is the practical application of the ICF system theory in the field of education. The rehabilitation base established by Guangdong Province in Guangzhou as the clinical teaching internship base of rehabilitation university is the ICF system theory. Practical application results in the field. On the basis of the two major innovation achievements, we will continue to explore in the construction of the subject system in the field of education in accordance with the theory of ICF systems to promote the establishment of a new disciplinary system for rehabilitation science. Guangdong Province is concentrating on creating an international model of the Chinese practice of ICF system theory, and contributing to the establishment of a new discipline system for rehabilitation science and demonstration leading international rehabilitation services.
