This comment aims to give a contribution to the debate about the best way to implement rehabilitationservices and, in particular, how specialist in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) define its rolein rehabilitation services in general and in Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR). The paper discussesthe use of the team rehabilitation and the definitions of CBR. A differentiated model of rehabilitationservices according to the phase of the disease and the intensity of service provision is developed. Theterm rehabilitation nowadays is used in two different ways: Rehabilitation as a health strategy or a set ofmeasures. The term CBR also is used in a dual way on the one hand describing a policy or managementstrategy or on the other hand describing the provision of “basic” rehabilitation services which is offered atthe community level. It is important to differentiate between acute, post-acute rehabilitation and long-termrehabilitation services to understand the need of different types of rehabilitation services. Additionally a5-level model of the intensity of rehabilitation services covers rehabilitation that is delivered by families,peers, neighbours, and others to highly specialized rehabilitation services, e.g. for acute rehabilitation orrehabilitation for severely affected patients. In comprehensive rehabilitation service, including CBR, the roleof PRM specialists is described in three ways: PRM deliver rehabilitation services, PRM act as an advisorand coordinator or PRM act as a trainer.Keywords: Rehabilitation definition, community based rehabilitation, rehabilitation services, Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine

Background: Rehabilitation is an important health strategy. Due to the lack of rehabilitation professionals (e.g., no physical and rehabilitation medicine, occupational therapist, and others) and lack of rehabilitation services (e.g., no multi-profession rehabilitation services in hospital, no post-acute rehabilitation services, no community-based rehabilitation services), the need to strengthen rehabilitation in Albania was pronounced. Therefore, this project aimed at rehabilitation service assessment and workforce capacity building in Albania. Methods: The World Health Organization’s Template for Rehabilitation Information Collection was used to collect available data related to rehabilitation services. Additionally, two site visits to different rehabilitation centers including interviews with relevant stakeholders were performed. A stakeholders’ workshop to prioritize recommendations was also performed before finalizing the report. Results: In Albania, rehabilitation service delivery, rehabilitation workforces, and financing in rehabilitation need to be strengthened. Conclusions: The project achieved the intended objectives. Additionally progress has been occurring in the development and implementation of the Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine specialization at the University of Medicine, Tirana.
