This paper introduces the Individual Rehabilitation Project (IRP) as a framework for person-centered rehabilitation in Europe (EUR-IRP). The EUR-IRP aims to standardize rehabilitation practices using the ICF, enabling better assessment, goal setting, and evaluation of patient functioning across the care continuum. The framework is based on an iterative cycle that includes assessment, goal-setting, intervention, and evaluation, promoting a collaborative approach between patients and rehabilitation teams.

One author (Carlotte Kiekens) has a consultant relationship with SWISS Reha and Swiss Paraplegic Research, and another author (Melissa Selb) received honoraria for holding ICF workshops. These are disclosed in the paper.

This paper presents a comprehensive framework (EUR-IRP) for person-centered rehabilitation in Europe, based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). It offers valuable tools and standardized processes for assessment, goal setting, intervention, and evaluation. While the framework shows strong potential, the lack of detailed information regarding the planned demonstration projects and limited discussion on patient preferences and values slightly lower the rating. The disclosed conflicts of interest appear minor and do not significantly impact the overall quality of the work.
