Continuity of Care Informational Continuity – Information is the common thread linking care from one provider to another and from one healthcare event to another. Information can be disease focused or person focused. Documented information tends to be on the medical condition, but knowledge about the patient’s preferences, values, and context is equally important for bridging separate care events and ensuring that services are responsive to needs.

Documented information tends to be on the medical condition, but knowledge about the patient’s preferences, values, and context is equally important for bridging separate care events and ensuring that services are responsive to needs. Management Continuity – is especially important in chronic or complex clinical diseases that require management from several providers who could potentially work at cross purposes. Continuity is achieved when services are delivered in a complementary and timely manner. Shared management plans or care protocols facilitate management continuity, providing a sense of predictability and security in future care for both consumers and providers. In mental health care, continuity of contact (expressed as access) embodies the notion that regular contact is needed to ensure management goals are adapted and met and that providers must often facilitate access to a broad range of services. Flexibility in adapting care to changes in an individual’s needs and circumstances is an important aspect of management continuity. When care is long term, both consistency and flexibility are critical for management continuity.

Continuity of Care Relational Continuity – bridges not only past to current care but also provides a link to future care. This is most valued in primary and mental health care. Even in contexts where there is little expectation of establishing ongoing relationships with multiple care givers, a consistent core of staff provides patients with a sense of predictability and coherence.

Even in contexts where there is little expectation of establishing ongoing relationships with multiple care givers, a consistent core of staff provides patients with a sense of predictability and coherence. Continuity of Care is achieved by bridging discrete elements in the care pathway – whether different episodes, interventions by different providers, or changes in illness status – as well as by supporting aspects that endure intrinsically over time, such as consumer’s values, sustained relationships, and care plans. Processes designed to improve continuity do not themselves equate to continuity. For continuity to exist, care must be experienced as connected and coherent.

Processes designed to improve continuity do not themselves equate to continuity. For continuity to exist, care must be experienced as connected and coherent. For consumers and their families, the experience of continuity is the perception that providers know what has happened before, that different providers agree on a management plan, and that a provider who knows them will care for them in the future.

The significant role of SPOE is the management and integration of inpatient services within the array of community service alternatives. As such, it provides a geographic and administrative focus for service determination and appropriate utilization of resources.
