Rehabilitation for Community Living Its not just the maid! Dr Roy Lee FRACGP, FAFRM(RACP) Rehabilitation Medicine Changi General Hospital 71 year old Lives with wife, son and DIL, 8th floor non lift landing Left CVA in July, recovered Fall: # left NOF in Sept 2010 Why the difference in function? Integrated care plans : stroke Integrated care plan *evidence is equivocal *Dowsey etal (1999),hip/ knee replacement (decr. LOS, time to ambulatn., complications) *Panella etal. (2005), CCF ( lower mortality) * little advantage over conventional rehab. care in LOS, mortality or institutionalisation.. poorer QOL, slower functional improvement but better documentation (Sulch) * No difference except less UTI. (Kwan) * difficult to apply where clinical practice is variable or patients..with multiple and different pathologies..
