complex health care system (e.g., subspecialty care, hospitals, home health agencies,
nursing homes) and the patient’s community (e.g., family, public and private community
based services). Care is facilitated by registries, information technology, health
information exchange and other means to assure that patients get the indicated
care when and where they need and want it in a culturally and linguistically
appropriate manner.
