An interdisciplinary home healthcare program for patients with PD
The long-term treatment of Parkinson's disease presents a special challenge
in the home healthcare setting.
This article describes a successful interdisciplinary home healthcare
program that addresses the special needs of patients with Parkinson's
disease and associated disorders.
The program, which combines skilled assessment, professional healthcare
services, patient and family education, and case management to optimize
patient outcomes, has become a national model for agencies hoping to start
or expand Parkinson's disease programs.
