Continuum of care involves an array of programs and services that are used to help with diagnosing and treating different illnesses and diseases over time. Quality of care is important to any facility or healthcare organization. The Institute of Medicine (2018) defined quality as “the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge. Quality occurs on a continuum (unacceptable to excellent). Quality may be evaluated from the individual’s or population’s perspective.IOM. (2018). It might be easier to understand this concept of “quality” and “outcomes” if we relate to the HIM we are exploring. How can breakdowns and inadequacies in our healthcare technology impact us?
