title: The health care continuum: beyond four walls.
abstract: For decades, the individual organs of health care--physicians, hospitals, home health agencies, long-term care facilities, and hospice centers--have been fragmented, operating independently from one another. Slowly, fragmentation is narrowing as hospitals team with physicians, home health agencies, long-term care facilities, and other health care providers to form integrated delivery systems.
