Persistent healing is healing which occurs over a period of time. Healing from rest is considered persistent healing, but so is regeneration and fast healing. A warlord's Exhortation ability or a bard's Soothing Performance are also persistent healing abilities. Even a spell which has a large healing effect the first round it is cast but then provides additional healing in future rounds is considered persistent healing.
