Continuity of care

What it is

Continuity of care is one of the five cornerstones of family medicine, standing with comprehensiveness, preventive, community and coordination. Continuity of care itself has more than one branch, and interpersonal continuity is the best of them; it is also the branch that is ignored and under threat. The question put on it asks which branch of continuity of care is the best while being ignored and under threat, and the answer given is interpersonal continuity. So the five cornerstones to hold are comprehensiveness, continuity of care, preventive, community and coordination, and within continuity of care the branch to name is the interpersonal one.
