How has the shift from acute care to chronic care management, the associated costs, and the need to address the continuum of care, motivated healthcare organizations to invest in improving transitions of care from one facility to another and back to home?
Ans) Continuum of care is a concept involving an integrated system of care that guides and tracks patient over time through a comprehensive array of health services spanning all levels of intensity of care.
- Hospitals play an important role in transitional care interventions and in the coordination of care. Specialized care settings also invest in the coordination of these processes.

- The continuum of care is important to caregivers and patients alike, and it leads to an improvement of the satisfaction level, reduces costs and improves health.
