Preferred term

continuum of care  

Definition

  • Continuum of care (CoC) is an enabling approach and a concept within social care services (examples could be health care, housing, support to physically and mentally challenged individuals, drug de-addiction services, sexual-and gender-based violence survivor support programs, etc.) that requires the care provider (and other duty bearers, such as state institutions, financial and legal assistance systems, etc.) to develop and implement an integrated, coordinated, and comprehensive system of care, creating a facilitative environment for high-quality support for the beneficiary/client. Central to the CoC concept is the need for all relevant caregivers and other duty bearers to work together in a concerted and coordinated way to provide quality support to the beneficiary or beneficiary group.
