  • Comparative assessment of ECFs and historical hospital roles.

    • Main Results:

    • ECFs are increasingly admitting more acutely ill residents.
    • Managed care mandates result in earlier discharges from acute care.
    • ECFs are assuming a role comparable to that of hospitals in the 1970s and 1980s.

    Conclusions:

    • Extended care facilities are adapting to new patient acuity levels.
    • The integration of managed care necessitates a re-evaluation of care delivery in ECFs.
    • ECFs play a critical role in the evolving continuum of healthcare services.
