Overlaps and accumulation in the use of rehabilitation services.

The Finnish rehabilitation system is considered fragmented and multisectoral, and thus it may produce 'multiclients' receiving inefficient and overlapping services. This paper addresses the overlaps and accumulation in the delivery of rehabilitation services in Finnish rehabilitation subsystems. Data were drawn from several administrative registers on the use of rehabilitation services during the years 2004 and 2005 in one hospital district area in Midwest Finland.
