Project in this case can refer to a Physical Therapy (PT) department, a PT team, a [[Continuing Professional Development / Continuing Education (CPD/CE)|Continuing Professional Development]] cycle, etc.
 
With a view to strengthening its performance and its ability to demonstrate the effect of its action to assist and protect people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence, the ICRC adopted, in the mid-1990s, the Results-Based Management (RBM) approach.

Introduction[edit | edit source]

The ICRC PT standards (PTS) are international standards adapted to the humanitarian context. They aim to achieve a threshold standard of quality, as the first step in improving physiotherapy outcomes for service users in ICRC-supported projects[1]

The multiyear project of PT standards development and implementation were initiated in 2014 by Barbara Rau with support of Prof Liz Holey and Anne Binks and numerous physiotherapy colleagues worldwide. Since 2017 the project is led by Cornelia Barth.

This project would have been impossible without the participation of rehabilitation teams and physiotherapy users contributing in numerous ways to its success. The documents on this page are the collective work of many valuable hands and minds.

The ICRC Physiotherapy Standards[edit | edit source]

The PTS are built around this cycle[link].

The standards consist of:

  • User/Patient related - Respect, informed consent, confidentiality
  • Therapist (service provider) related - Communication, lifelong learning, professional conduct, quality improvement
  • Procedures (rehab cycle) related - assessment, treatment planning, implementation, evaluation, discharge
  • Service Provision relation - data management, safety and security, Human Resources

Standards for Project cycle vs Rehab cycle ​[edit | edit source]

There are 23 ICRC Physiotherapy standards in total, accompanying the various sequences of the Result Based Management (RBM). (RBM) is a tool that is used for monitoring and managing the implementation of strategy by organisations and agencies that are part of or are linked to the United Nations. To understand RBM it is also important to follow guidelines on measuring results to ensure any interventions identified remain focused. A number of the standards discussed are related to projects, others are related to a rehab cycle.
