Brief Summary: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the cost effectiveness of a new health care system in which an individualised multidisciplinary assessment is given to patients with Parkinsons DiseasePDin combination with treatment by a dedicated team of specifically trained health professionals compared to usual care Overall we anticipate to gain more insight in the clinical effectiveness and health care costs of multidisciplinary treatment in PD
Detailed Description: PD is a complex disorder with motor as well as non-motor symptoms Despite the complexity of PD management of the disease is often monodisciplinary since most patients are only treated by a neurologist Stimulating compensatory strategies by allied health professionals might offer additional therapeutic relief but this assumption is mainly based on theoretical arguments and expert opinion Even less is known about the claim that a multidisciplinary team of multiple professionals active in complementary domains eg physiotherapy occupational therapy and speech therapy is superior to management by each of these professionals alone

This study anticipates to provide more insight in the clinical effectiveness and health care costs of multidisciplinary treatment in PD Therefore our multidisciplinary care concept a comprehensive assessment by a dedicated multidisciplinary team and subsequent treatment by specifically trained health professionals that is tailored to the patients individual needs will be compared to usual care in terms of effectiveness and costs
