Sub-acute care definition
Sub-acute care is comprehensive, inpatient care for
patients who:
• Have had an acute event resulting from injury,
illness or exacerbation of a decease process;
• Have a determined course of treatment;
• Though stable, require diagnostics or invasive
procedures, but not intensive procedures
requiring an acute level of care.
• The severity of the patient's condition requires:
• Active physician direction with frequent
on-site visits;
• Professional nurse care;
• Complex medical and/or rehabilitative care.
Typically sub-acute care is designed to return
patients to the community or transition them to a
lower level of care.
