How this fits in

Continuity of care (COC) is associated with improved health outcomes in patients with hypertension. Team-based COC can transform the previous one-to-one, physician–patient relationship by connecting the patient to a coordinated group of physicians, thereby helping to sustain COC for patients with hypertension in the long-term follow-up. This study showed clinically significant effects of team-based COC in reducing the risks of CVD incidence and mortality among patients with hypertension. Team-based COC via a physician group can serve as a feasible and effective approach for achieving COC in primary healthcare systems with limited resources.
