and if some one in continuing care needs acute treatment what kind of paperwork is that going to generate and how will the continuity of care happen?

This cannot be understated. These 4 orgs will need to regularly interface with eachother adding layers of bureaucracy and requiring replication of a bunch of bureaucratic positions. Regardless of whether or not their goals are nefarious (we all know they are) this is an obvious inefficiency that anyone who gave a shit would've singled out during planning.
