Improving continuity of care in Finnish primary health care: Insights from a nationwide qualitative study of primary care physicians
Enhancing COC for a primary care patient population requires a systemic perspective and structured, goal-oriented development efforts. However, small and discrete steps can also contribute to improving COC for individual patients. Our findings highlight the link between COC enhancement and the development of the health care system as a whole.
