Abstract

Kagawa seamless care study society was established in the central and western part of Kagawa Prefecture in November, 2005, and the cerebral apoplexy inter-regional association critical path created with the Excel base has been employed. The system which enables employment of the Internet using Kagawa Medical Internet eXchange (K-MIX) was started from January, 2009, and the data total and analysis of evaluation criteria by the use of digital information were attained.

In this study, the multiple regression analysis of the factor relevant to a home return and principal component analysis were conducted using 271 home-return cases from convalescent rehabilitation hospital.

Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Barthel Index (BI) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) had high relation against a home return. Age, sex, the household family number, evaluation of daily life function, and the level of care needed had low relation. Age was suggested as related factor in evaluation of daily life function or the level of care needed. In the item of FIM, there is a significant difference by movement items, specifically related to self-care items, such as having a meal and clothing themselves.
