A weak form of weak quasi-continuity, which we call subweak quasi-continuity, is introduced. It is shown that subweak quasi-continuity is strictly weaker than weak quasicontinuity. Subweak quasi-continuity is used to strengthen several results in the literature concerning weak quasi-continuity. Specifically, results concerning the graph, graph function, and restriction of a weakly quasi-continu...

Continuity of care has been regarded as being fundamental to primary care and has been linked to improve quality of care. In this editorial, I will explore the impact of continuity of care on the quality of care and the mechanism of how quality helps to sustain continuity; recommendations for policy makers in the health care system to improve quality by promoting continuity will be outlined at ...
