of patient care ensures that patients experience a smooth transition across the different levels of care and that patient care is coordinated among practitioners, among organizations, and over time

The term given to a structural system denoting the transfer of loads and stresses from member to member as if there were no connections
the relation between two things of essential identity similarity, coherence or harmony; the lack of change from one principle or regime to another
Property of being continuous (1) A term used in trouble-shooting electrical circuitry Continuity implies continuous electrical circuitry through connections Broken wires, corroded contacts, cold solder joints, poor contacts all can impair continuity (2) In geology, continuity implies a continuous property or pattern relating to rock type, beds, formations, or sedimentation (3) In reference to immiscible fluids in rock, continuity might refer to the condition of the nonwetting phase when droplets or insular globules of the nonwetting phase become connected to form a continuous web throughout the pores of the rock
The ability to blend and incorporate various school figures (patterns) together so a continous flow of movement is achieved
Keeping things the same, or avoiding contradictions To fans, this generally means that the events of a story don't contradict previous events To artists, continuity refers to keeping the characters looking the same from panel to panel
the matching of all spatial and temporal elements from shot to shot in a sequence, to create the illusion of coherent space and time within a production
Continuity is the fact that something continues to happen or exist, with no great changes or interruptions. An historical awareness also imparts a sense of continuity. a tank designed to ensure continuity of fuel supply during aerobatics
In film making, continuity is the way that things filmed at different times are made to look as if they were filmed at the same time or in the right sequence. Walt and I referred to a video cassette of the original footage to check continuity and lighting. In mathematics, a property of functions and their graphs. A continuous function is one whose graph has no breaks, gaps, or jumps. It is defined using the concept of a limit. Specifically, a function is said to be continuous at a value x if the limit of the function exists there and is equal to the function's value at that point. When this condition holds true for all real number values of x in an interval, the result is a graph that can be drawn over that interval without lifting the pencil. Such functions are crucial to the theory of calculus, not just because they model most physical systems but because the theorems that lead to the derivative and the integral assume the continuity of the functions involved
