Abstract:
In the context of further promoting the construction of an integrated healthcare service system,traditional quantitative indicators for measuring continuity of care may have limitations.The analysis of domestic and foreign studies on the mortality rate associated with service continuity measured by quantitative indicators shows that a lack of correlation or even an inverse correlation between continuity of care and mortality.This phenomenon may be attributed to the fact that the indicators have only single dimension and unable to capture the multidimensional nature of continuity of care.Based on these findings,some ideas are proposed for the improvement of the indicators,which contribute to thoughts and suggestions on the quantitative measurement of continuity of care.
