Driver rehabilitation programs: defining program models, services, and expertise.

This paper highlights the critical need for a diverse span of services targeted at older drivers that is clear and understandable to health care professionals, service providers, and consumers. The paper describes how a panel of expert driver rehabilitation specialists and researchers on older drivers affirmed consensus statements addressing the need for clarification of terms and services. It also presents a new document that describes a spectrum of driver services from education to specific driver rehabilitation services. The document will provide consumers, referral sources, payers, and stakeholders invested in older drivers' services, with the information to refer the right people to the right service at the right time.
