A working group, established by the Japanese Board-certified Physiatrist Association to examine the necessary functions for an electronic medical record keeping system for rehabilitation, created a functional evaluation system for electronic medical record keeping in kaifukuki rehabilitation wards. The group conducted a survey to determine how electronic medical records are actually being used in kaifukuki rehabilitation wards. Methods : The group sent questionnaires to 153 hospitals with kaifukuki rehabilitation wards by mail. The questions included the period of usage, how satisfied they were with their system, and a self-evaluation form for their electronic medical record functional evaluation. They asked the respondents to evaluate each item from 1 to 5 points. Results : The group received answers from 82 institutions, with a valid answer rate of 53.6% in total. The median of the electronic record functional evaluation was 60.5 points. The points given varied from 1 to 5 in all items. Conclusion : It was determined that electronic medical records are equipped with a minimum of functions for rehabilitation, but also that there are great functional differences among institutions.
