Continuum of Care: Continuous Care at KMB Hospital
Continuum of Care at KMB Hospital is not care delivered in isolated episodes, but care that spans the entire process
Good medical care does not end on the day you receive treatment at KMB Hospital. Care is designed as a Continuum of Care, or “continuous care,” from before treatment, throughout the care itself, and on to follow-up after treatment, in order to support safety, appropriateness, and care that is aligned with each individual's body.
Before Care
Care begins with a pre-treatment assessment to understand your health information and the suitability of the proposed approach. This step helps the physician
- See the overall picture of the body
- Assess potential risks
- Plan care thoughtfully and carefully
Pre-treatment care is the essential foundation for safety in the next stage.
During Care
During care, the physicians and medical staff work within the hospital's safety systems. Care during treatment places importance on
- The appropriateness of the care approach
- Vigilant monitoring of risks
- Care that follows hospital standards
Every step is connected and works together, rather than being delivered in fragmented parts.
After Care
Care does not end when treatment is complete; it also includes ongoing follow-up and continued care to support appropriate recovery. Post-treatment care helps the medical team
- Assess the body's response
- Provide guidance on self-care
- Monitor symptoms in the following period
How Continuum of Care Works as One System
All three phases of care, before, during, and after treatment, work together as a single system. Information from each phase is used together to support appropriate care, rather than making decisions based on information from only one phase. This is the heart of the Continuum of Care that KMB Hospital uses in caring for its patients.
