Objectives: To characterize the services of a rehabilitation centre specialized in spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D) using the International Classification of Service Organization in Rehabilitation (ICSO-R) 2.0, and to evaluate its potential use in meeting health reporting and certification requirements.
Methods: The post-acute and outpatient rehabilitation services at this specialized SCI/D centre were described, the SCI/D Framework of rehabilitation service type definitions considered, various rehabilitation centre stakeholders were consulted, and data were collected using the centre’s digital quality management system and institutional management tool. A structured internet search identified the national health reporting and certification systems relevant for SCI/D rehabilitation. The resulting systems were subsequently mapped with ICSO-R 2.0 categories.
Results: ICSO-R 2.0 categories pertaining to the provider dimension were generally the same across the post-acute and outpatient services. ICSO-R 2.0 highlighted the nuances in service delivery between these 2 service types. Most of the categories could be mapped to at least 1 of the 10 health reporting and certification systems detected in the website search.
Conclusion: ICSO-R 2.0 can be used to comprehensively describe the rehabilitation services of a specialized SCI/D centre in Switzerland. Despite some challenges, ISCO-R 2.0 has the potential to facilitate national health reporting and certification.
LAY ABSTRACT
The International Classification of Service Organization in Rehabilitation (ICSO-R) 2.0 has been developed to characterize rehabilitation services in different fields of rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to characterize different rehabilitation services in a centre specialized in spinal cord injury and disorder. Out of 9 rehabilitation services detected, post-acute and outpatient services were described. ICSO-R 2.0 highlighted the nuances in service delivery between these 2 service types. Most of the categories could be mapped to at least 1 of the 10 health reporting and certification systems detected in the website search. Despite some challenges, ISCO-R 2.0 has the potential to facilitate national health reporting and certification.
