- Abstract: A recovery rehabilitation ward is a ward where aggressive rehabilitation is provided to enable patients to return to their former level of activities of daily living (ADL). Our hospital is actively engaged in rehabilitation medicine as provided by various therapists including physical, occupational, and speech-language-hearing therapists and nurses on the ward. So, management of the patient's schedule and information sharing among members of this multidisciplinary team can be a challenge. We therefore introduced a patient schedule that provides an overview of the management plans for all patients, a rehabilitation schedule board that helps with confirming each patient's schedule and is kept in the bedside cabinet, and the ADL panel where information on ADL status and target is recorded.As a result of using the patient schedule, it became easy to make adjustments in rehabilitation duration for the patient and to reduce the stress from overscheduling.Using the rehabilitation schedule board has enabled us to now check the schedule at the bedside, and the patients can plan activities cognizant of their daily routine.Using the ADL panel allows nurses and therapists to share ADL information and also allows the patients to confirm their present status and targets.Information sharing is vital in rehabilitation medicine multidisciplinary teams on recovery rehabilitation wards where the various roles affect the patient, and using the patient schedule, rehabilitation schedule board, and ADL panel is useful for achieving this.
