Abstract
The iPad application Aid for Decision-making in Occupation Choice (ADOC) was utilized to set goals when initiating outpatient rehabilitation. The subject was a woman in her 50s who suffered from hypertension-related heart failure. Outpatient rehabilitation included medication to prevent recurrence, and goal setting through interviews with ADOC. The target goals were “Preventing heart failure through continuation of diet and exercise therapies”, and “Socializing with friends at the dessert buffet”. After the goal setting, the patient participated in home-based outpatient rehabilitation, diet therapy, and exercise therapy. As a result, it became possible to socialize with friends, blood pressure and body weight were greatly improved at discharge, and one medication was discontinued.
