Although continuity of care is considered an essential feature of good health care, researchers have used and measured continuity in many different ways, and no clear conceptual framework links continuity to outcomes. This article offers a reconceptualization and definition of continuity based on agency theory. It posits that the value of continuity is to reduce agency loss by decreasing information asymmetry and increasing goal alignment. Three decades of empirical literature on continuity were examined to assess whether this model would provide greater clarity about continuity. Some authors measured improved information transfer, but more appeared to assume that continuity would lead to better information. Most authors appeared to have assumed that goal alignment was present and did not measure it. The model of continuity based on agency theory appears to provide a useful conceptual tool for health services research and policy.

Examines Max Weber's conception of freedom. The multiple meanings of freedom employed by Weber are presented, showing them to be modern, legitimate, situational, contingent, & existential. Each type of freedom is drawn out through Weber's writings. Modern freedom is illustrated by juxtaposing the Weberian conception with the ancient & modern liberties as developed by Benjamin Constant. Legitimating freedom is witnessed in writings about the development of democracy & parliamentary politics that create openness. Tendencies toward bureaucratization demonstrated in Weber's studies of Russia support the situational conception of freedom. A contingent conception of freedom is based on the freedom of conflict & the freedom of openness based in Weber's theory of action. Finally, comparisons between Sartre & Weber implicate existential conceptions of freedom. T. Noland

Law should be understood in the sense of a dynamic, not static, and not general from the juridical elements. In the reformation era, only conceptual understanding that has the relevance.
