2025 Focus Area: Fragmentation Across Care Settings
- As healthcare delivery grows more complex, with multiple provider settings for care delivery and telehealth, care fragmentation is a top patient safety concern because it can impede communication among a patient’s providers and interfere with care coordination.
- Breakdowns in care from a fragmented healthcare system can lead to readmissions, missed diagnoses, medication errors, delayed treatment, duplicative testing and procedures, and reduction in quality of care leading to general patient and provider dissatisfaction.
- Fragmentation can occur from one provider setting to another, as well as within a healthcare facility from one unit or department to another. Systems-level structures and policies often play a role in reducing or propagating fragmentation and have a role to play in shaping the organizations within the system in how they work together.
- Healthcare organizations must collaborate with each other and decide how to transfer information about patients they share. For example, health information technology can help providers share information about their patients. Organizations must devise strategies to “close the loop” and ensure that providers are aware of and address actionable patient information, such as test results.
