Introduction: Post-acute care is the period of transition between acute care and longterm care. It has been demonstrated that activities of daily living (ADL) and mobility could be improved through interdisciplinary care and rehabilitation. However, the execution rate of physical rehabilitation (PR) among patients in our post-acute ward was only 72%. Aims: The aim of the project was to enhance the execution rate of PR among patients. Methods: A situation analysis was conducted to investigate the difficulties of performing PR among patients and the barrier of health professionals. Four major causes were identified as follows: (i) insufficient knowledge and the absence of practice of training programs among health professionals; (ii) poor communication between health professionals; (iii) difficulties in memorizing the rehabilitation procedure among patients/family; (iv) unawareness of the importance of PR among patients. We proposed approaches included: arranging experiential education in the training program for health professionals, using cloud-based collaboration platform for interdisciplinary shift, developing PR pamphlets and a DVD, and applying behavior modification strategies to patients. |
