| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We hypothesize that the more is the communication among medical staffs, the better is the patient outcome in rehabilitation medical practice, and investigated relationship between the amount of communication measured by a wearable ICT device and patient outcome measured by functional independence measure (FIM). In 2015 FY, we examined feasibility and reliability of the communication measuring system. In 2016 FY, we succeeded in measuring the communication during consecutive 2-week period among 36 medical staffs in convalescence rehabilitation ward (90 beds), and examined relationship between the amount of communication and activities of daily living (FIM scores) of the patients.
