Physiotherapy caseload standards were developed in 1975 for the purpose of providing an efficient statistical tool for department heads, administrators and government planners in their consideration of staffing and equipping treatment facilities. This paper is a summary of a report prepared by a committee of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association whose task was to evaluate the standards. Analysis of data collected by Statistics Canada via the Canadian Schedule of Unit Values in 1980-81, showed a high correlation between two primary workload indicators--attendances per department paid hour and attendances per physiotherapist paid hours. Using three of the seventeen statistical indicators developed, the committee prepared physiotherapy caseload standards for seven types of hospitals, categorized by size and the proportion of rehabilitation services they offered. The standards were later revised and reissued as guidelines. This report discusses three of the recommended guidelines: number of attendances per physiotherapy department paid hour; number of attendances per physiotherapist paid hour; and weighted units per physiotherapy department paid hour. A copy of the complete report is available from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
物理治疗病例量标准于1975年制定，目的是为部门主管、管理人员和政府规划人员在考虑治疗设施的人员配备和设备配备时提供一种有效的统计工具。本文是加拿大物理治疗协会一个委员会编写的报告摘要，该委员会的任务是评估这些标准。加拿大统计局通过1980 - 81年的《加拿大单位价值表》收集的数据显示，两个主要工作量指标之间存在高度相关性，即每个部门带薪小时的就诊人数和每个物理治疗师带薪小时的就诊人数。该委员会利用所制定的17项统计指标中的三项，为七种类型的医院制定了物理治疗病例量标准，这些医院按规模和提供的康复服务比例分类。这些标准后来经过修订并重新发布为指南。本报告讨论了三项推荐指南：每个物理治疗部门带薪小时的就诊人数；每个物理治疗师带薪小时的就诊人数；以及每个物理治疗部门带薪小时的加权单位数。完整报告的副本可从加拿大物理治疗协会获取。
