What is Continuity of Care?
Continuity of care is a process aimed at assisting members who have an acute, chronic or terminal illness, or who are in the second trimester of pregnancy to continue receiving care from a provider when the member changes health plans or when the provider no longer participates in a network. Continuity of care (COC) is also known as transition of care (TOC).
Continuity of care refers to the practice of young children staying with a primary teacher for a designated length of time. At the Lab School, if your child enters as an infant, he or she will stay with the same teacher and be with the same cohort group of children until age-eligible for the preschool program. The teacher continually modifies the environment and activities to meet the childrens changing needs.
