For the expanded/detailed list, please see the website of the World Health Organization (WHO): http://class.who-fic.nl/browser.aspx?scheme=ICF-nl.cla.\u000D2.4 Desired outcomes\u000DThe interventions within the treatment programme follow on from the treatment goals determined for that patient (SMART; specific, measurable, acceptable, realistic, time-based), whereby one goal is deemed by the multidisciplinary team to be the core/main goal. The outcome of the intervention relies on the achievement of these goals. The overall desired outcome of the HNR programme is to improve daily functioning and wellbeing, measured at the start and after completion of the rehabilitation programme with the use of, amongst others, several quality-of-life questionnaires. Using valid and reliable measuring instruments where possible, the outcomes of the intervention are expressed in terms of improvement in functioning on the ICF components: body functions and structures, activities and participation.\u000DAt the end of treatment, an assessment is made of the extent to which the treatment goals determined beforehand have been reached. The treatment ends with a quality-of-life assessment supplemented with discipline-specific measurements. The health professionals and rehabilitation physician involved evaluate the treatment and assessment outcomes in a conversation with the patient. The outcomes of these conversations and measurements are then discussed in the treatment team in a \u0027final evaluation\u0027. The overall desired outcome of the HNR programme is an improvement in daily functioning and wellbeing (measured with questionnaires/measurement tools) after completion of the programme, when compared with the start of the programme. The aim is to reach 80% of set rehabilitation goals, including core/primary goals (Passchier, Stuiver et al. 2016).\u000D2.5 Rehabilitation care view\u000DRehabilitative care aims primarily at reducing and/or preventing negative effects of head and neck cancer treatment, and thereby improving daily functioning. Since rehabilitation in the head and neck cancer area is complex, it calls for a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team. The programme is goal- oriented and consists of a comprehensive package of treatments tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of the patient. The focus is on the problems of the rehabilitating patient and it is from them that (SMART) treatment goals are drawn. The patient and his or her significant others are actively involved in the rehabilitation process, starting from the decisions made during the intake concerning the patient\u0027s rehabilitation needs and the rehabilitation goals to be reached, and resulting in achieving the set rehabilitation goals as effectively as possible.\u000DThe team aims to comply with the justifiable wishes and desires of our patients, leading ultimately to the improvement of their participation in society and independence. Our goal is to deliver\u000D88\u000D
