Abstract

The Parkinson’s passport is a compact document consisting facts and tips about managing PD. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of ‘The Parkinson’s Passport booklet’ on the care and management of patients with Parkinson’s admitted to an Australian hospital. The results suggest the implementation of the Parkinson’s passport booklet does not improve the care and the management of a patient with PD who present to hospital which in turn challenges the efficacy of the document. However, the major unexpected finding during the course of the study was a high incidence of cognitive impairment in PD patients (85%) presenting to hospital.
