Especially for Telehealth, it has turned out to be a game changer, helping extend the reach of healthcare and keep patients under monitoring. For example, remote monitoring devices track patients’ vital signs and alert care teams to problems promptly. The following, this interconnection between technology and patient engagement is extremely important as the first key to ensuring continuity of care, especially in cases of chronic conditions. Continuity of care means that a continuous plan of treatment is coordinated and that a patient goes from one healthcare setting to the other. Examples such as the Patient-Centered Medical Home encourage relationships between patients and primary care providers to be longer term and assist with the delivery of cohorts of care.
