Getting from here to there with longitudinal quality metrics.

摘要

E-QUALITY MEASURES FOR person-centric longitudinal care are unique because of their duration, participation by multiple sites and providers, and range and intensity of services (acute care, chronic care, rehabilitation, medication management, maintenance, prevention, and wellness). Longitudinal care requires cross-site coordination and excellent transitions of care and alignment with clearly articulated quality of care and quality of life goals. The use of social media, mobile health and smartphones, health information exchanges, and new person-centric models of care will change how care is delivered and how quality is reported.
