Medical - Medical: Health Care / Health care mechanisms
Spanish term or phrase: Continuo
I am translating a document on health care coordination mechanisms and I would like to ask your opinion on how to translate "continuo" as used in the following paragraph:

Para coordinar el acceso del paciente a lo largo del CONTINUO de servicios que conforman la red – coordinación administrativa- se pueden utilizar mecanismos basados en la adaptación mutua, informales y formales, como las centrales de regulación que evalúan y autorizan las derivaciones entre niveles apoyados por un sistema de registro de la información, o mecanismos basados en la normalización de procesos como los protocolos de acceso para orientar la referencia y contrarreferencia en la red.

I was thinking of translating "a lo largo del CONTINUO de servicios" as "throughout all levels of service".

Any thoughts?
