    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare management
    • Nursing science
    • Patient care coordination

    Background:

    • Decreasing hospital length of stay necessitates improved care continuity.
    • Patient care is increasingly transitioning to community and home-based settings.
    • Ensuring uniformity and continuity of care for patient groups is a growing challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the role of care maps in supporting a continuum of care.
    • To highlight the necessity of standardized approaches for patient care transitions.
    • To identify key elements for successful care map development.

    Main Methods:

    • Care maps are defined as multidisciplinary standards for care processes and outcomes.
    • The application of care maps across the entire episode of care is examined.
