Continuity of care, a stated fundamental principle of family medicine, is reviewed in terms of its philosophy and definitions. A model of continuity in primary medical practice is proposed, consisting of five elements: the provider, consumer, encounter type, knowledge base, and environment of continuity. The elements are measurable, some more easily than others. There is need to define and operationalize the model more accurately in order to evaluate continuity in primary care medicine.
作为家庭医学明确的基本原则，连续性医疗从其理念和定义方面进行了审视。提出了一个初级医疗实践中的连续性模型，该模型由五个要素组成：提供者、消费者、诊疗类型、知识库和连续性环境。这些要素是可衡量的，有些比其他的更容易衡量。为了评估初级保健医学中的连续性，需要更准确地定义该模型并使其可操作化。
