The standards manual is intended for use in facility self-evaluation, planning of new facilities and organization of new programs, and in-service training. Standards are organized into three basic sections: standards for the organization (such as purpose, personnel administration and staff development, planning, and physical facilities and safety); standards for all programs (intake and orientation, assessment and evaluation, and case records); and standards for individual programs or services (hospital-based rehabilitation, chronic pain management programs, outpatient medical rehabilitation, infant and early childhood developmental programs, occupational skill training, job placement, and psychosocial programs).
