Moving towards home-based community-centred integrated care in Parkinson's disease
People living with Parkinson's disease (PwP) experience a wide range of motor and non-motor symptoms associated with increasing complexity of care delivery. A multispecialty approach has been presented as an intuitive solution for tailored and comprehensive care delivery. Nevertheless, past trials of both multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary care models in PD suggested no measurable change to a small benefit in quality of life (QoL) and failed to show economic sustainability. We propose a home-based community-centred integrated care (iCARE-PD) for PwP as a pragmatic solution to harness the potential of existing care resources using an integrated care strategy, enable self-management support and implement technology-enabled care.
