ReTIS is jointly funded by all Scottish Health Boards to provide a national information service in the field of Rehabilitation Technology. The service provides information and support in the areas of Wheelchairs and Seating, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Electronic Assistive Technology (EAT). EAT includes Environmental Control Services.
ReTIS is working closely with Rehabilitation Technology providers in Scotland to collect information to inform commissioners, service providers and policy makers of current practice and levels of service. This information will be used to assist the planning and management of services with the ultimate aim of improving performance.
ReTIS is facilitating the installation and adoption of rehabilitation service databases designed specifically for Scottish needs. ReTIS will continue to provide a data analysis and reporting role in addition to supporting the new system.
