               As the major component of holistic rehabilitation, community rehabilitation services cover a broad dimension of rehabilitation
               goals, including but not limited to, the improvement of impairment, activity and participation. It also serves as an interface
               with other activities and dimensions of lives in the society.

               Tuen Mun Hospital (TMH) Rehabilitation Centre was established in 2007 and serves as the cluster rehabilitation centre
               under the New Territories West Cluster of Hospital Authority in Hong Kong. The centre, being an integrative part of a major
               regional hospital, receives a large number of acute and non-acute patients who require rehabilitation with a great dimension
               of diagnoses, impairment and disabilities. Their needs, as expected, are highly variable. This presentation describes the
               Centre’s development, from initial infrastructural design stage to subsequent service organisation and implementation, and
               how the hardware and software work together and evolve as a hub between hospital and various community rehabilitation
               sectors to cater for the rehabilitation needs of a million population. The outcomes and challenges will also be described.
