Disability Degree Assessment: A Comprehensive Approach According to Royal Decree 888/2022.
Medicina Clínica 2024 April 17
BACKGORUND AND OBJECTIVE: Royal Decree 888/2022 establishes that the evaluation of disability situations is carried out by multiprofessional teams responsible for assessing and recognizing the degree of disability. The participation of professionals in the healthcare and social fields can be valuable in providing reports from which the necessary data for the proper assessment of disability can be obtained, with the ultimate goal of providing comprehensive assistance to people with disabilities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An analysis and summary of Royal Decree 888/2022, which has recently come into effect, is performed, focusing on the most relevant aspects for professionals in the healthcare and social fields.
RESULTS: The recognition and classification of the degree of disability are the responsibility of the autonomous communities, and the assessments are issued by multiprofessional teams. To do this, four components are evaluated using the criteria outlined in the annexes of the Royal Decree itself. Each criterion generates a score that is combined to obtain a single score, the Final Disability Degree of the Person.
CONCLUSIONS: The pathology that causes the disability must have been previously diagnosed by the Healthcare System and considered permanent. Its evaluation is based on the evidence of objective clinical findings that are documented and supported by clinical reports. For this reason, it is important to maintain an accurate medical history, document reviews, and provide all relevant evidence.
