    <title language="eng">Optimizing health systems response to patient’s needs: An argument for the importance of functioning information</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background: Current health systems are increasingly challenged to meet the needs of a growing number of patients living with chronic and often multiple health conditions. The primary outcome of care, it is argued, is not merely curing disease but also optimizing functioning over a person’s life span. According to the World Health Organization, functioning can serve as foundation for a comprehensive picture of health and augment the biomedical perspective with a broader and more comprehensive picture of health as it plays out in people’s lives. The crucial importance of information about patient’s functioning for a well-performing health system, however, has yet to be sufficiently appreciated.&#13;
&#13;
Methods: This paper argues that functioning information is fundamental in all components of health systems and enhances the capacity of health systems to optimize patients’ health and health-related needs.&#13;
&#13;
Results and conclusion: Beyond making sense of biomedical disease patterns, health systems can profit from using functioning information to improve interprofessional collaboration and achieve cross-cutting disease treatment outcomes.&#13;
&#13;
- Implications for rehabilitation&#13;
&#13;
- Functioning is a key health outcome for rehabilitation within health systems.&#13;
&#13;
- Information on restoring, maintaining, and optimizing human functioning can strengthen health system response to patients’ health and rehabilitative needs.&#13;
&#13;
- Functioning information guides health systems to achieve cross-cutting health outcomes that respond to the needs of the growing number of individuals living with chronic and multiple health conditions.&#13;
&#13;
- Accounting for individuals functioning helps to overcome fragmentation of care and to improve interprofessional collaboration across settings</abstract>
