In a nutshell: The authors undertook qualitative semi-structured interviews to examine patients’ experiences of continuity of care in the context of different long-term conditions and models of care, and to explore implications for the future organization care of long-term conditions. They conclude that continuity experiences, meanings and expectations, as well as barriers and facilitators, are influenced by the model of care rather than type of condition.
