Parkinson syndromes (PS) represent frequent neurodegenerative disorders. The demographic change suggests an increasing prevalence of PS in the near future. Treatment expenses, early retirement and need of long-term care result in rising public health care expenditures. Standardised concepts of care do not only improve the quality of patient-centered care, but also help to minimize its consequential costs. Their implementation requires profound knowledge of therapeutic strategies and sociomedical regulations. Medical treatment and sociomedical care have to be regularly reevaluated and adapted to the patient's needs and disease severity. An optimal therapy concept guarantees the patient's long term social integration and improves the compliance.
