The HQCA has published two reports related to continuity of care in Alberta’s health system: our original report, 2013 Continuity of Patient Care Study and a follow up review: Improving Continuity of Care: Key Opportunities and a Status Report on Recommendations from the 2013 Continuity of Patient Care Study, released in 2016.
Continuity of care is the degree to which a series of healthcare events is experienced as coherent and connected, and consistent with the patient’s medical needs and personal context. Continuity of care is important to the well-being of patients and to the effectiveness of Alberta’s healthcare system.
