What is Continuous Care aka Continuum of Care in Healthcare? A Not-So-Boring Guide

Just like you continuously water a plant to nourish and maintain it, continuous care in healthcare means the same.

Oh, continuous care, the healthcare equivalent of a never-ending Netflix binge, but with fewer cliffhangers and more stethoscopes. Let’s dive into this fascinating world without the medical jargon that makes you want to hit the snooze button.


Continuous Care Delivery is like being the ultimate plant parent, nourishing your green buddy from its tiny seedling days all the way to its grand, leafy adulthood. And even when it’s on the verge of becoming compost, you’re still there with the water and sunshine, ensuring it blossoms every single day. That’s dedication! Well, Formis brings you that same level of commitment, but for your health.

Imagine Formis as your healthcare gardeners, always there with the right care, at the right time, so you can bloom in all your glory. Now, who wouldn’t want that?

Continuous Care in Healthcare: The What and the Why


Continuous care is like having a healthcare bestie who’s always there for you, no matter what. They’re the one who knows all your medical history, and they’re always up for a chat about your latest health concerns. They’re also the one who can help you navigate the healthcare system, and make sure you get the care you need.


So if you’re looking for a healthcare confidante, continuous care is the way to go. It’s like having a healthcare marathon partner, who will help you stay on track and reach your health goals.

The Benefits of Continuous Care (Or Why It’s Cooler Than Your Average Checkup)

  • No More Playing Healthcare Roulette: With continuous care, you’re not bouncing between doctors who have no idea what the other one said. It’s like having a group chat for your health, but without the annoying notifications. Without continuous care, you might feel like a pinball, bouncing between doctors who don’t know your medical history. Imagine going to one doctor for a sugar fix (diabetes) and another for a knee jiggle (knee pain), and the second one hands you a candy bar as a prescription. Oops! Wrong move, doc!

  • Personalized Care (Yes, They Actually Know Your Name): Continuous care means your healthcare team knows you, understands you, and probably even remembers your dog’s name. It’s healthcare with a personal touch. They’ll tailor your care like a bespoke suit. Got a chronic condition? They’ll whip up a management plan that fits you like those jeans you’ve been eyeing.

  • Prevention Over Cure (Because Who Likes Surprises?): Continuous care focuses on keeping you healthy rather than just treating you when you’re sick. It’s like having a weather forecast for your health.They’ll nag you about regular checkups, eating your veggies, and hitting the gym. But hey, at least they care enough to keep you from turning into a couch potato.

  • Cost-Effective (Because Who Doesn’t Love Saving Money?): Continuous care often leads to early detection and prevention, which can save you money in the long run. It’s like catching a sale every time you shop for your health. Continuous care saves you money, like a Black Friday sale but for your health. Manage that chronic condition, and you’ll avoid hospital visits as often as you avoid your in-laws.

  • A Seamless Experience (No More Deja Vu): Tired of repeating your medical history like a broken record? With continuous care, your doctors are all in sync, like a well-rehearsed boy band. No more repeating yourself; they’ve got the beat.

  • Peace of mind: Imagine a team of healthcare providers holding hands around you, singing Kumbaya (secret to stress fatigue release revealed). That’s the peace of mind continuous care brings. They’re all there, working in harmony to keep you healthy, like a wellness choir.

  • Improved quality of life: Continuous care can help you to manage your health conditions, stay active, and live independently. Got a chronic condition? Your continuous care team will help you live your best life, like a life coach with a stethoscope. They’ll develop a plan that lets you live normally, or as normal as anyone can be these days.

  • Reduced risk of hospitalization: Continuous care can help to reduce the risk of hospitalization by providing preventive care and managing chronic conditions. It is like having a healthcare bodyguard. They’ll make sure you’re taking your meds and getting checkups, so you don’t end up in the hospital. It’s like having a bouncer for your health, keeping the bad stuff out.

So, there you have it, continuous care in a nutshell, or a medical chart, or whatever metaphor works for you. It’s like having a healthcare BFF who’s always there for you, even when you eat that extra slice of cake. With Formis, we’re all about that continuous care life, and we do it with a wink and a smile. Because healthcare doesn’t have to be a drag, right?

The Disadvantages of Not Having Continuous Care (Or Why You Should Care)

The Healthcare Maze: Without continuous care, navigating healthcare is like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded while riding a unicycle on a tightrope. Good luck with that, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

One-Size-Fits-All (And It Never Fits Right): Without continuous care, you might end up with generic care that fits like those one-size-fits-all socks you got as a gag gift. Spoiler alert: They never fit right, and neither does one-size-fits-all healthcare.

Healthcare Whack-a-Mole (It’s Less Fun Than It Sounds): Without continuous care, treating one issue might lead to another popping up unexpectedly, like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole with your health. Spoiler alert: There’s no prize at the end of this game.

Lost in Translation (Literally): Without continuous care, your medical information might get lost between providers, like playing a game of telephone with your health. Last time we checked, “allergic to penicillin” shouldn’t turn into “allergic to penguins.”

Lack of healthcare consumer control: When you do not have continuous care, you may have to see different providers for different needs. This can make it difficult to coordinate your care, and it can also be frustrating if you feel like you are not in control of your own healthcare. For example, if you are seeing a doctor for your diabetes and a therapist for your anxiety, it can be difficult to make sure that both providers are aware of your treatment plan and that they are working together to help you.

Increased risk of errors: When care is not coordinated, there is an increased risk of errors. This is because different providers may not have access to all of your medical information, and they may make decisions based on incomplete information. For example, if you are taking a medication for your heart condition, and you see a different doctor for your knee pain, the second doctor may not be aware of the first medication, and they may prescribe a medication that interacts with it. This could lead to a serious medical emergency.

Increased costs: Continuous care can be more expensive than traditional healthcare. This is because it requires more coordination and communication between providers. It is like ordering the fancy coffee with all the extras. Seeing a doctor, therapist, and nutritionist? Each one bills separately, and suddenly, your healthcare bill looks like a five-star restaurant check.
