ANS: D
Relational continuity is "a therapeutic relationship with a practitioner that spans more than one episode of care and leads, in the practitioner, to a sense of clinical responsibility and an accumulated knowledge of the client's personal and medical circumstances." Frequent team communication about all aspects of care helps ensure relational continuity among treatment teams. Informational continuity refers to the use of data to tailor current treatment and care to each client's evidenced needs. The concept includes accurate record sharing and technology that allows real-time communication exchanges between providers and with clients in remote sites. It is a primary communication vehicle during care transitions and is used to help clients and families make high-quality client care decisions. Management continuity refers to a consistent, coherent care management approach that can be flexibly adjusted as client needs change. Care coordination and case management have emerged as significant methodologies associated with management continuity.
