Enabling person-centred care among adults living with chronic conditions

Individuals living with chronic conditions interact with many health-care providers across diverse settings and services and are often at risk of receiving fragmented care.1 Two characteristics of person-centred care that can help to address these challenges are relational continuity and care coordination. Relational continuity refers to an ongoing therapeutic relationship between individuals and primary care professionals,2 and care coordination involves the intentional organisation of care activities and information exchange.
