Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Informational continuity refers to data exchanges among providers and provider systems and between providers and patients for the purpose of providing continuously coordinated, high-quality care. Instant electronic transmission of data "links provider to provider, and health care event to health care event." Ideally there is an uninterrupted flow of data and clinical impressions between health care providers and agencies, with patients and their families, over time and space. Specific information follows the patient from primary to secondary care settings and vice versa. The same patient information is available to providers throughout the health care system.
