Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare delivery
  • Geriatric medicine
  • Rehabilitation medicine

Background:

  • Approximately 25-40% of hospitalized adults require post-acute care (PAC) in settings such as home health (HH), skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), or long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs).
  • Effective collaboration among hospital clinicians, patients, caregivers, and interdisciplinary teams is essential for high-quality PAC and improved transitions.
  • Varying eligibility, service intensity, and complexity across PAC settings necessitate a clear understanding for optimal patient placement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of diverse PAC settings to enhance hospital-based clinicians' ability to collaborate effectively.
  • To guide clinicians in promoting high-quality PAC and facilitating better patient and caregiver transitions.
  • To emphasize the importance of patient-centered discharge planning in PAC.

Main Methods:

  • This study provides a descriptive overview of various post-acute care settings.
  • It outlines the characteristics, eligibility criteria, and services offered by HH, SNFs, IRFs, and LTACHs.
  • The text highlights the factors influencing discharge planning and the role of clinicians.

Main Results:

  • PAC settings differ significantly in their scope of services, ranging from intermittent home support to intensive rehabilitation and prolonged hospital-level care.
  • Discharge planning is often influenced by clinical needs, caregiver support, patient preferences, insurance, and geography.
  • PAC admissions offer opportunities for clinicians to discuss prognosis and goals of care with patients and families.

Conclusions:

  • Hospital-based clinicians must understand different PAC settings to participate effectively in discharge planning.
  • Proactive recognition of PAC needs and advocacy for appropriate settings are crucial, especially for patients with insurance limitations.
  • Patient-centered care requires facilitating better transitions by ensuring informed choices and clear communication regarding PAC options.
