How does Care Everywhere support continuity of care across transitions?

• A. By exporting all patient data to an external cloud storage
• B. By replacing local records with a national master record
• C. By delivering a unified view of the patient's data from multiple organizations via CCDA content, enabling clinicians to see recent encounters, meds, problems, and labs.
• D. By sending only discharge summaries

Answer: (C)

Continuity of care across transitions relies on having a complete, up-to-date view of the patient’s health information that moves with the patient between settings. Care Everywhere achieves this by delivering a unified view of a patient’s data from multiple organizations through CCDA documents. Clinicians can see recent encounters, medications, problems, and labs in one place, even when records live in different EHR systems. This standardized exchange enables safer transitions—such as hospital to home or between clinics—by supporting accurate medication reconciliation, reducing data gaps, and avoiding duplicate testing. The other approaches wouldn’t provide this integrated, interoperable, longitudinal view: exporting data to cloud storage creates standalone copies; a national master record isn’t how Care Everywhere operates; and sending only discharge summaries leaves out important information needed for ongoing care.
