CARF publishes new standards for stroke program accreditation
Rehab Regs, July 7, 2005
The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) recently published new standards for accrediting stroke specialty programs, according to PT Bulletin Online. The new standards, in place for those programs that address stroke rehabilitation stages and emphasize recurrence prevention, will underscore positive functional outcomes and education for people who have suffered strokes and encourage them to take active roles in maintaining their health. The standards' development was guided by an 18-member international advisory committee including health care professionals and patients. During the standards' six-month introductory period, they can be downloaded free of charge at www.carf.org/providers.aspx, according to PT Bulletin Online.
