Summary

• Hospitals, nursing facilities, and independent management companies have discovered that subacute care - the area of patient care that lies somewhere between inpatient hospitalization and long-term care services - is capable of generating more profits for financially healthy institutions or turning around struggling organizations.
• Subacute Care Services introduces and defines this financially prosperous industry while addressing the intrinsic value of its services to healthcare professionals. Subacute Care Services provides a pragmatic look at the development process for starting a subacute care unit and discusses the hospital versus long-term care facility as a unit site. Written by the leading experts in the field, Subacute Care Services is a "must" read for healthcare professionals in hospitals and long-term care.
• The opportunity to fill empty beds, increase utilization, and bolster revenues without adding staff has made subacute care one of the fastest growing subspecialties in healthcare.
