ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Parkinson's disease requires a close interaction between different care partners from the point of diagnosis in order to provide the best possible care for patients. However, the treatment reality shows that there are often still significant gaps in care. In recent years it has been recognised that the formation of networks can contribute to improving the care of Parkinson's patients.OBJECTIVES:
To present the current status of the development of Parkinson's networks in Germany, the available evidence and the future of Parkinson's networks. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Experiences from existing networks in Germany were systematically recorded on the basis of personal reports and publications. The existing national and international evidence was summarised, and critical success factors and hurdles were analysed. In addition, possible future scenarios were developed.RESULTS:
There are many integrated approaches to improve the care of Parkinson's patients. However, this is usually subject to the initiative at individual locations, without binding conditions being created for this by the legislator or the funding agencies outside of model projects.DISCUSSION:
It must be noted that it is currently very difficult to implement a problem-free and cost-efficient development of intersectoral network structures within the existing possibilities of the German health care system. The high personal commitment of individual actors currently forms the basis of existing regional networks. An overarching health policy concept is needed to further promote the content and infrastructure of Parkinson's disease networks.
