title: [First experience with the personalised dependence degree assessment for the purposes of care allowance].
abstract: Personalised medicine in disability assessment was first implemented in 2010. It was not until two years later that the medical assessment paradigm used for dependence degree assessment for the purposes of care allowance was transformed. Since January 2012, there has been an aggregation of the 36 self-care and self-sufficiency tasks into ten basic living needs , i.e. mobility, orientation, communication, food intake, putting on clothes and shoes, body hygiene, using the toilet, health care, personal activities, and household cleaning. Until the present moment, more than 150 thousand assessment cases have confirmed that personalised assessment of functional disabilities represents a significant improvement in the individualised approach to all clients of the social security system. The increase in the number of patients with confirmed dependence degrees III and IV has demonstrated that modern functional assessment is beneficial especially for patients with the most severe health impairments. Personalised medical assessment service represents the pursuit of an improved medical assessment of clients functional disabilities.
