Topic relevance
1) Cure and care continuity must be guaranteed in every complex patient, chronic, disable's pathway, more and more fragmented in many ultra-specialist competence nowadays.
2) the new Health System Planning 2011-2013 emphasizes cures' continuity as an indispensable welfare pathway for the NHS.
