Several challenges can affect the continuity of care, including:
Fragmentation of Care: Multiple healthcare providers and settings can lead to fragmented care. Poor Communication: Inadequate communication among healthcare teams can result in missed or misunderstood information. Incomplete Documentation: Insufficient or inaccurate patient records can hinder effective care transition. Patient Non-Compliance: Patients not adhering to their care plans can disrupt continuity. Healthcare System Barriers: Systemic issues such as limited access to care or lack of resources can impede continuity.
