本文的目的是建议尺寸概念化的连续性护理，并提出一些适当的和有用的措施。考虑的维度包括出院计划，成功和快速的转移，并实施个性化的服务计划。由于间断性比连续性更容易衡量，因此大多数重点是护理系统中的差距，滞后和中断。所有这些都与心理社会康复方案的有效管理有关。为了说明，我们描述了使用这些措施在一项研究中的100人从医院过渡到社区生活在西部马萨诸塞州。
The purpose of this article is to suggest dimensions for conceptualizing continuity of care and to propose some appropriate and useful measures. The dimensions considered include discharge planning, successful and rapid transfer, and implementing individualized service plans. Because discontinuity is more easily measured than continuity, most of the emphasis is on gaps, lags, and interruptions in the system of care. All are relevant to effective management of psychosocial rehabilitation programs. To illustrate, we describe the use of these measures in a study of 100 persons in transition from hospital to community living in western Massachusetts.
