Table 1.

Problems with current care model and challenges to be addressed by an integrated model of care.

Problems with current care The challenge is to:

Lack of multidisciplinary collaboration and continuity of care
Issues detected late and managed reactively
Difficult to access healthcare professionals with appropriate expertise in a timely fashion
Lack of empowerment and involvement for patients and carers
Care not managed close to home
“One size fits all” treatment and focus mostly on motor symptoms
Deliver integrated care and continuity of care
Manage issues early and proactively
Facilitate access to specialised healthcare professionals
Educate and empower patients and carers
Organise care close to home
Deliver personalised care and “precision” medicine
