This document is part of the "Care Pathways in Physical and Rehabilitation
Medicine" series developed by the French Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine
Society (Sofmer) and the French Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Federation
(Fedmer). For a given patient profile, each concise document describes the
patient's needs, the care objectives in physical and rehabilitation medicine, the
required human and material resources, the time course and the expected outcomes.
The document is intended to enable physicians, decision-makers, administrators
and legal and financial specialists to rapidly understand patient needs and the
available care facilities, with a view to organizing and pricing these activities
appropriately. Here, patients with acute proximal humeral fracture requiring
shoulder hemi-arthroplasty are classified into four care sequences and two
clinical categories, both of which are treated according to the same six
parameters and by taking account of personal and environmental factors (according
to the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health)
that may influence patient needs.
