Patterns and predictors of referrals to allied health services for individuals with Parkinson's disease: a Parkinson's foundation (PF) QII study.
Rehabilitation therapies are critical for optimizing quality-of-life and daily functions for individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PD). Thus, understanding the patterns of and under what conditions physicians make rehabilitation referrals is important for optimizing care. In this study, the investigators analyzed data from 5020 participants (4 countries) collected from 1/3/2016 to 4/20/2018 as part of the Parkinson's Foundation Quality Improvement Initiative (PF QII).

Evaluation of an interdisciplinary screening program for people with Parkinson disease and movement disorders.
Researchers described the characteristics of people with Parkinson disease and movement disorders referred by neurologist to a physiatrist-led interdisciplinary rehabilitation screening program. They found that the interdisciplinary rehabilitation screening program was sustained with increased numbers of referrals over time, occurring earlier in the disease in more recent years. Further, key strategies used to sustain the program over time included development of a unique referral order set for the neurologists, implementation of a comprehensive screen tool in the rehabilitation hospital electronic health records, and centralized communication through social workers at both facilities.
