The ALS functional scale (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale revised (ALSFRSr)) is a questionnaire that enables people with ALS to record and evaluate the progression of their disease.
How the ALS function scale works
The ALSFRSr questionnaire consists of twelve questions, each with five sub-questions, the answers to which are rated on a point scale from 0 to 4. This results in a total score of between 48 and 0 points, which can be used to record the status of the disease and assess its progression (rapid, average, slow).
If you let us know in a care request via the ALS app that you need a neurological medication, your case manager will be notified immediately. They will take care of providing you with a new or existing medication. In addition, the ALS app also offers the option of submitting a consultation request for a neurological medication. You will then be contacted and advised by a pharmacy specializing in ALS as soon as possible.
Communicate supply requirements for aids
Users can notify their case manager of their need for an assistive device using the “New request for assistive device” function on the Care page.
Communicate supply requirements for medication
If the user wishes to inform their case manager of their need for a medication, the required medication can be transmitted via the “New medication supply request” function on the Supply page.
Send the required care to case management
The notification of need – here using the example of a new medication – is sent to case management. Once it has been sent, case management contacts the user and takes care of the supply.
The “My medical aids” function on the Supply page provides an overview of the current and past supply of medical aids. In the detailed description of an individual assistive product, you can see the processing status of the supply process and which medical supply store supplies the assistive product. A filter function allows you to filter all medical aids according to the status of the supply process (status), medical aid category, and date of the most recent supply process.
