This is the first repository of its kind and the right place for you if you need instructions and frameworks for rehabilitation.
The goal of the ReLAB-HS Rehabilitation Resource Repository is to improve the findability and accessibility of high quality rehabilitation publications produced by organizations to support the development and delivery of rehabilitation services and their integration into health systems.
New resources are added to the repository on a daily basis in accordance with the scope and inclusion criteria outlined. Below are the top 4 resources added in the last month.
Learning Health Systems: Paths to Progress
Learning – on an individual, team, organizational and cross-organizational level – is fundamental to strengthening health systems and achieving health goals. However, many health systems, especially in LMICs, still do not have sufficient capacity to generate and use the knowledge they need to be effective. Investment in learning activities tends to make up a remarkably small proportion of total investment in health programs and systems, and learning-oriented activities have not been budgeted for or favored compared to other health system priorities in the past.
This report promotes a full understanding of what is meant by learning health systems and how they can be created. It outlines the benefits of learning from health systems and the actions required to build such systems.

Gender and rehabilitation
Gender and gender are important in health system rehabilitation interventions and research because women, men and intersex people have different biologies – and women, men and gender minorities have different gender social experiences – that affect their health behavior impact, opportunities and results.
It is important that rehabilitation care, like other forms of service delivery, is placed in the broader context of gender-specific health systems. This report clearly presents the status quo and is indispensable reading for all clinicians working in the clinic.
