Obstacles to continuity of care in young mental health service users’ pathways - an explorative study

Abstract

Continuity of care should be more explicitly linked to aspirations for development and progress in the users' care pathways, and how service providers can cooperate with users to actually develop and make progress. Coordination tools such as case conferences and 'individual plans' should be upgraded to this end and utilised to the utmost. This may be the most effective way to counteract the system obstacles.
