Spinal Cord Injury Healthcare Rehabilitation

Simple Explanation

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. ICSO-R 2.0 highlighted the nuances in service delivery between these 2 service types.

Key Findings

1
ICSO-R 2.0 categories pertaining to the provider dimension were generally the same across the post-acute and outpatient services.
2
ICSO-R 2.0 highlighted the nuances in service delivery between these 2 service types.
3
Most of the categories could be mapped to at least 1 of the 10 health reporting and certification systems detected in the website search.

Research Summary

This demonstration project showed that ICSO-R 2.0 could be applied to systematically describe (in tabular form) the organization of services of an SCI/D specialized rehabilitation centre in Switzerland. Moreover, through a mapping exercise, the current study found that ICSO-R 2.0 has the potential to support health reporting and certification preparation activities by providing a framework for collecting and organizing information about rehabilitation services. Despite some challenges related to inadequate category descriptions and difficulties in differentiating service-related data (e.g. staff workload) that belong to post-acute vs outpatient rehabilitation, ISCO-R 2.0 has the potential to facilitate national health reporting and certification

Practical Implications

Framework for data organization

ICSO-R 2.0 provides a framework for organizing service-related data needed to complete health reporting and certification documentation.

Service gap analysis

ICSO-R 2.0 can support service gap analysis, identifying potential areas for improvement and development of new services.

Data comparability

ICSO-R 2.0 can promote comparability of service-related data across different rehabilitation providers.
