Cost effectiveness of a telerehabilitation intervention vs home based care for adults with severe neurologic disability: A randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Several options are available for the care of neurological conditions including care delivered in rehabilitation centres, at home or remotely. While economic studies are available comparing centres and homes, very little economic data relates to mobile teams comparing face-to-face and remote care.

Objective

To conduct an economic study comparing face-to-face care at home and care delivered remotely (tele-rehabilitation).

Method

A randomised clinical study with two groups; a control group receiving home care and an experimental group receiving tele-rehabilitation. The primary outcome measure was the ICER (Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio).

Participants

Patients with severe neurological disabilities.

Results

80 patients were enrolled in the stu
