| | MASSMED | Continuity of Care Record FAQs |
 | | The CCR is being developed and enhanced in response to the need to organize a set of basic patient information consisting of the most relevant and timely facts about a patientâs condition. |
 | | The CCR will be created by a healthcare provider/clinician at the end of an encounter, or at the end of an episode of care, such as a hospital or rehabilitation stay. |
 | | The CCR will be completed by physicians, nurses, and ancillary providers (e.g., social work, PT, OT) upon discharge or transfer or other transition of a patient from one caregiver to another, whether it is inpatient, outpatient, or community based, in order to support the safety, quality, and continuity of patient care. |
