Data available on the HQCA’s FOCUS on Healthcare website showed that some Primary Care Networks (PCN) are either doing extremely well or have made significant improvements in continuity of care.
We interviewed five PCNs that have shown improvements in relational continuity. How do they invest their time? How do the things they do align with the Toward Optimized Practice clinical practice guidelines for increasing continuity? Why does continuity matter? And what impact can it have – especially with your most ‘at-risk’ patients, such as those with COPD? What are the practical tips you can apply to your clinical setting?
