We have operated paper-based stroke liaison critical pathway in Kumamoto area since 2007, though felt difficulties in restoring, keeping quality of and analyzing the data. Therefore, we developed digitalized version of the pathway with FileMaker Pro ® in the same form of paper-based pathway, which would be low-cost, simple and adoptable for all participating facilities. After entering data, we printed the pathways and used them as paper-based pathways. Entered digital data were restored in every hospital, collected, interlinked and analyzed afterward. We distributed this digital version in Oct. 2009 and promoted gradually in coexistence with the paper-based pathway. The data of 1152 patients were collected by Sept. 2010. Mutual data movement would be possible with other database including stroke data bank and rehabilitation patients bank. Further consideration is necessary about handling of individual informations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
