Abstract
This chapter discusses the organization of rehabilitation services. It starts with the principles of comprehensive delivery and organization of services, and then outlines the merits and drawbacks of different systems. Regional services can offer a range of specialist outpatient resources that are not available on the local level. Local services should deliver all standard post-acute inpatient rehabilitation, and there may be an advantage to create a dedicated united working from a physical base. Early supported discharge services can bridge the gap between inpatient and community services, with outpatient and community services providing longer term rehabilitation. Finally, community-based rehabilitation in developing countries is discussed.
