IN-HOME-PD: The effects of longitudinal telehealth-enhanced interdisciplinary home visits on care and quality of life for homebound individuals with Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Homebound individuals with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) are underrepresented in research and care. We tested the impact of interdisciplinary, telehealth-enhanced home visits (IN-HOME-PD) on patient quality of life (QoL) compared with usual care.

Methods

Nonrandomized controlled trial of quarterly, structured, telehealth-enhanced interdisciplinary home visits focused on symptom management, home safety, medication reconciliation, and psychosocial needs (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03189459). We enrolled homebound participants with advanced PD (Hoehn & Yahr (HY) stage ≥3). Usual care participants had ≥2 visits in the Parkinson's Outcomes Project (POP) registry. We compared within- and between-group one-year change in QoL using the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire.<
