Primary outcomePrimary: Feasibility — 91 percentage of visits
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and the value of providing care to individuals with Parkinson disease directly into their homes. The specific aims are:
1. To demonstrate the feasibility of conducting remote evaluations of patients with Parkinson disease nationally;
2. To measure the impact of remote care on each patient's ability to improve his or her quality of life (QoL) and better manage his or her Parkinson disease; and
3. To assess the long-term acceptability to patients in receiving ongoing care remotely via telemedicine.
