We are referring to the continuum of care within our organization’s unit of collaboration from Outpatient Rehabilitation, Home Health, Hospice Care, and Personal Care Assistance. It is the transition from one unit to another — coordination, collaboration, and information transfer between different caregivers in different clinics, between the hospital, facilities, insurances that we partnered, and we are being recognized as a healthcare provider.
Good Shepherd Integrated Healthcare System (GSIHS) has been serving Nevada since 2006. it is our vision to provide comprehensive, quality patient-centered care that is focused on each patient’s unique needs. As time passed by, we have seen GSIHS grew fast and we have seen that continuum of care is very important to our patients/ clients.
The continuum of care is important to our patients and caregivers/ family since it leads to an improvement in the satisfaction level, reduces costs, and improves health. Keeping up the continuum of care is especially significant for those patients who are more dependent on the health services, elderly patients, patients suffering from complex medical conditions, mentally vulnerable patients, and patients with chronic diseases.
What is Integrate Healthcare?
Integrated care, also known as integrated health, coordinated care, comprehensive care, seamless care, or transmural care, is a worldwide trend in health care reforms and new organizational arrangements focusing on more coordinated and integrated forms of care provision. Integrated care may be seen as a response to the fragmented delivery of health and social services is an acknowledged problem in many health systems.
