The Canadian Physiotherapy Quality of Care Project: Analysis of a Derailed Project
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
The Physiotherapy Quality of Care Project was a project of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, sponsored by the Canadian government to ensure the quality of physiotherapy. A consensus committee of physiotherapy educators and managers developed and tested an instrument to measure changes in patients' functional status during physiotherapy. Despite scientific development and wide distribution, this technology was not adopted. Alternative methods, which were heavily marketed, gained nationwide use instead.
