Introduction[edit | edit source]

Project in this case can refer to a Physical Therapy (PT) department, a PT team, a 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.

Assess and Analyse[edit | edit source]

In order to guide the assessment and analysis stage of the project cycle it is important first to assess the situation. This step will identify the availaility of services and resources:

  • Human Resources
  • Communication
  • Available Resources/Departments
  • Bed Capacity
  • Privacy for Service Users
  • Available Treatments and Interventions
  • External Health Programmes that can be linked to
  • Referral Systems
  • Waiting lists, Admissions, Appointment and Follow up systems
  • Systems to ensure Social Inclusion
  • Members of the Multidisplinary Team
  • Population Characteristics
  • Record Keeping and Management of Data Collection
  • Accessibility of Services
  • Availability of Equipment
  • Staff Support and Training.

To record and guide this process a form, Situation Analysis, has been developed. This includes a list of critera with space to record comments, key issues and recommendations.
