Continuity of care impliesThe management of health information in two different perspectives:-local management of information aboutThe subject of care, atThe site of care provision,-information interchange between health care providers.This European pre-standard seeks to identify and define those processes which relate toThe continuity of care. It specifically addresses aspects of sharing patient related information needed inThe process of care. It identifies and defines relevant data and information flows, together withTheir relationships to "time slots". In order to supportThe delivery of high quality care to each patient, and to facilitate continuity of care, a full understanding is needed of the temporal aspects of the delivery of health care,The role of each party inThe health care process , andTheir interaction inThe patient's environment.The concepts describingThe characteristics of the ongoing process of care should not differ in nature from those that are used to structure and organiseThe data locally inThe Electronic Health Care Record.
