A successful DBS program: (1) identifies suitable patients on a regular basis; (2) undertakes an appropriate evaluation protocol; (3) educates patients and their care partners about DBS; (4) performs the DBS surgery; (5) cares for the patient before and after surgery by programming the stimulators and adjusting medications; and (6) does all of these in an efficient and economically feasible manner.
