Innovative socio-sanitary rehabilitation models in central nervous system disorders: a systematic review

The review identifies promising evidence of positive impacts associated with socio-sanitary services, particularly in relation to functional outcomes, patient satisfaction and support for community living. At the same time there are important gaps in their implementation, integration, and the methodological consistency of existing studies. Across multiple settings, continuity of care appears fragmented, and case management functions are inconsistently implemented or, in some cases, entirely absent. Together, these findings suggest that while socio-sanitary models can offer meaningful benefits, persistent gaps in coordination and follow-up represent key structural barriers to achieving effective and sustainable integration.

Abstract

The review identifies promising evidence of positive impacts associated with socio-sanitary services, particularly in relation to functional outcomes, patient satisfaction and support for community living. At the same time there are important gaps in their implementation, integration, and the methodological consistency of existing studies. Across multiple settings, continuity of care appears fragmented, and case management functions are inconsistently implemented or, in some cases, entirely absent. Together, these findings suggest that while socio-sanitary models can offer meaningful benefits, persistent gaps in coordination and follow-up represent key structural barriers to achieving effective and sustainable integration.
