Abstract
With an aging population and advances in medical science, people with advanced diseases are living longer, and chronic care now dominates the health-care system. Effective management of patients with chronic diseases requires a well-developed care continuum that emphasizes patient safety. Fragmentation and discoordination of health care is a significant cause of inappropriate care and increased health-care costs.
