Organizer: Ryohei Goto(University of Tsukuba, Japan)

[Background]
In a super-aging society, community-based rehabilitation needs to function interprofessionally in order to support those who wish to live life on their own terms. The process of providing rehabilitation in hospital settings mainly constitutes giving instruction (physician; P), receiving instruction (rehabilitation professionals; R), rehabilitation intervention (R), and evaluation (P and R); however, the roles of physicians and rehabilitation professionals in community-based rehabilitation remain ambiguous. Therefore, to establish integrated community care systems, an understanding of their roles in community-based rehabilitation should be deepened.
[Purpose]
To deepen the understanding of physicians’ roles based on the concept of community-based rehabilitation.
[Target participants]
Primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals who are interested in community-based rehabilitation.
[Contents]
First, tasks introduce community-based rehabilitation. Second, participants discuss the difference between community-based and hospital rehabilitation. Third, participants discuss the roles and value of primary care physicians in community-based rehabilitation. We hope that this process will help participants understand how primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals can promote interactions in community-based rehabilitation.
