Goals in rehabilitation teamwork.

'Goal setting' is used in rehabilitation team management as a tool to improve the quality of the rehabilitation process. In general, goals must be relevant, expressing what should be accomplished, positively defined, put in behavioural terms, easily and clearly understood by all the team members, attainable, allow planning, and they must be measurable. Goals should be set in terms of activities of value to the patient, to be realized in a planned timespan.
