While the significance of continuity of care in medical practice has not yet been completely assessed, this concept has been espoused by the new specialty of family practice along with some other specialties. It is an integral component in family practice residency programs. The purpose of this paper is to identify several methods of measuring continuity of care in a residency setting and to demonstrate their application. Measurements called COC (Continuity of Care) and UPC (Usual Provider Continuity) will be described as they apply to overall patient visits, visits for chronic conditions, and visits by family members.
虽然医疗实践中连续护理的重要性尚未得到全面评估，但这一概念已得到家庭医学这一新专业以及其他一些专业的支持。它是家庭医学住院医师培训项目的一个组成部分。本文的目的是确定在住院医师培训环境中衡量连续护理的几种方法，并展示它们的应用。将描述适用于整体患者就诊、慢性病就诊以及家庭成员就诊的被称为COC（连续护理）和UPC（常规提供者连续性）的测量方法。
