Why is this important?

Developing key performance indicators (KPIs) for rehabilitation management systems provides a basis for monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of the system. It also helps identify activities that need corrective action and improvement.

At a minimum, key performance indicators should include targets for:

a) starting early intervention
b) return to work outcomes
c) cost and effectiveness of the approved rehabilitation providers used.
