In order for hospital neurologists to support home care patients and their families in making decisions in collaboration with their home doctors and other medical staff, it is important that they do the following:
1) provide the home doctor detailed hospital records including the decision–making process.
2) clarify the division of roles between the hospital doctor and the home doctor.
3) communicate with the home doctor at the right time.
4) make sure that medical staff are comfortable working together.
Each and every neurologist should try hard to help patients and their families make medical decisions that they will not regret later.
