  1. CoARC Standards A Walk Through the Changes 2003 VS 2010

  2. Objectives • Comparison of 2003 Versus 2010 CoARC Standards. • Focus on What Is Different. • Questions & Answers www.coarc.com

  3. What’s Different? • All programs are now required to prepare students at a competency level consistent with the national credentialing examination for registered respiratory therapists. • This level of preparation better equips graduates to enter practice with the requisite knowledge and professional competencies needed to work effectively in partnership with other healthcare providers. www.coarc.com

  4. What’s Different? • Greater emphasis on the desired foundation and practice, the manner in which programs must assess student achievement of competencies, and the importance of the development of the student as a health care professional. • Allows programs to remain creative and innovative in program design and the methods used to enable students to achieve program goals and acquire the competencies needed for entry into practice. www.coarc.com

  5. What’s Different? • The Standards have been renumbered, restructured, and clarified. • The Standards are organized into five sections. • The Guidelines used in the previous Standards have either been incorporated into the Standards or removed altogether. www.coarc.com

  6. What’s Different? • The five new sections are: • I - Program Administration and Sponsorship; • II - Institutional and Personnel Resources; • III - Program Goals, Outcomes, and Assessment (formerly Standards II and IV); • IV -Curriculum (formerly Standard III); and • V - Fair Practices and Recordkeeping. www.coarc.com

  7. What’s Different? • Definitions– the use of a definitions list provides clarification of key terms (5 pages). • Evidence of Compliance- Below each Standard to clarify the requirements for compliance with each Standard. www.coarc.com

  8. Evidence of Compliance • Facilitates response to progress reports and accreditation actions by CoARC, development of self-study reports, and site visit prep/review. • Each item of evidence represents the minimal information necessary to determine compliance. • Each item must be addressed. • Additional information that the program believes supports compliance may also be provided. www.coarc.com
