Guidelines for Standardization Work of Rehabilitation Medicine Association （2025 Edition）

As an integral component of China's standardization system, rehabilitation medicine association standards play a pivotal role in regulating clinical practice, ensuring care quality, and nurturing rehabilitation professionals. Grounded in the Standardization Law of the People's Republic of China and drawing on the practical experience of standardization work by the Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine, the formulation of the Guidelines for Standardization Work of Rehabilitation Medicine Association Standards aims to establish a systematic framework for the development of these standards and promote the standardized development of the rehabilitation medicine field. The guidelines detail the principles for the formulation of rehabilitation medicine association standards, scope of application, the qualifications of the entities involved, and the technical specifications. They highlight the importance of combining evidence-based practice with clinical experience in the development of these standards, clarify the fundamental principles of openness, transparency, and consensus, and outline the complete workflow from proposal, project approval, drafting, and solicitation of comments to final publication and periodic review, providing specific recommendations for the dissemination of the standards. By enhancing the quality of rehabilitation medicine association standards, the Guidelines will promote the standardization of rehabilitation medical services and advance the development of rehabilitation medicine in China.
