The American Academy of Family Physicians defines continuity of care as “the process by which the patient and his/her physician-led care team are cooperatively involved in ongoing health care management toward the shared goal of high-quality, cost-effective medical care.”¹⁾ Haggerty et al.²⁾ identified three types of continuity in every discipline: informational, management, and relational. Informational continuity can be defined as “the use of information on past events and personal circumstances to make current care appropriate for each individual,” management continuity as “a consistent and coherent approach to the management of a health condition that is responsive to a patient's changing needs,” and relational continuity as “an ongoing therapeutic relationship between a patient and one or more providers.”²⁾ Some literature has examined the relation between continuity of care and cost of care and has reported that the cost of care is reduced when the relationship is longer.^3,4)
