Abstract

This paper addresses two new challenges to the rehabilitation team. The first is to continue to provide high quality services in an era when government and other regulations place constraints on what the rehabilitation team can offer. The second challenge is to honor the ideal of patient empowerment in this era of policy constraint. Ethical issues involved in responding constructively to these challenges are discussed and practical suggestions offered.
