What is Restaccess®

Restaccess® is a developing assessment framework for describing, piloting and documenting recovery-supportive environments. Recovery-supportive quality is the framework term for an environment’s capacity to support recovery.

Basic definition

Restaccess® makes the environmental factors of recovery structured and discussable.

The framework gathers observations related to sleep, rest, sensory environment, usability and predictability into a shared structure. Its purpose is to help describe the restability of a space.

Framework

Defines what is examined and which concepts are used to describe observations.

Pilot

Tests the structure in real settings before wider adoption.

What need does Restaccess® address?

The quality of recovery is difficult to assess without a shared language.

Fragmented observations

Factors that affect recovery easily remain as separate remarks.

Difficult comparison

Sites are difficult to examine with the same logic without a shared structure.

Documented structure

Restaccess® offers a way to record, assess and develop observations consistently.

What Restaccess® is not

A clear boundary

Restaccess® is not an opinion review, a luxury label, a star rating or a promise of perfection.

  • Not an opinion review
  • Not a luxury label
  • Not a star rating
  • Not a promise of perfection

Next step

Piloting refines the framework in practice

The Restaccess® framework is refined through observation data from pilot partners and expert feedback.
