​Accreditation Canada Spinal Cord Injury Standards for Acute and Rehabilitation Services 

In 2012, the Rick Hansen Institute (RHI) partnered with Accreditation Canada (AC) to develop comprehensive and evidence-based standards for Spinal Cord Injury care in acute and rehabilitation settings.  The SCI standards are part of the range of Service Excellence standards that are available for organizations to use when they participate in  the Qmentum accreditation program.  Like all other Service Excellence standards, they focus on the essential components of safe and effective health care, based on five attributes of excellence—clinical leadership, people, processes, information, and performance.The standards are kept current thanks to regular revisions through national consultation with field experts.  

Hosting a site visit in 2017? Version 11 are available from the login part of this site.  If your site visit is in 2018, please refer to version 12 of the standards, also available here.
