Abstract

After defining continuity of care operationally, the authors developed the "Continuity of Care Inventory" for measuring the continuity provided to clients of a community mental health center as they moved among or stayed within particular services. The results obtained from using the inventory in the center for a one-month period illustrate the potential value of this procedure for other centers.
