Abstract
. The model is based on three main conceptual dimen sions - comprehensiveness, coordination and longitudinality. We are using the model to create standards of care, integrate services and improve their efficiency, and to develop policies regarding spina bifida services. Through this effort we hope to provide bet ter medical and rehabilitation services to those with spina bifida and meet the complex challenge the condition presents through out the lifespan.
