What do General Acute Care Hospitals do?
An acute general hospital is an institution whose primary function is to provide inpatient diagnostic and therapeutic services for a broad population group, covering both surgical and non-surgical medical conditions.
The hospital treats patients in the acute phase of illness or injury, characterized by a single episode or a relatively short duration, from which the patient returns to their normal or previous level of activity.
Children’s Hospitals
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 282NC2000X
Children’s hospitals provide specialized medical care for infants, children, and adolescents, focusing on their unique health needs, which can range from common illnesses to complex conditions like congenital heart defects and cancer.
Beyond patient care, they also drive pediatric research, educate future healthcare providers, and support families through community outreach, advocacy, and psychosocial support.
Critical Access Hospitals
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 282NC0060X
Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) provide essential acute care, emergency services, and outpatient care to rural communities, aiming to reduce financial vulnerability and improve access to healthcare where it might otherwise be unavailable.
They have a limited number of acute care beds (fewer than 25) and a short average inpatient stay (no more than 96 hours).
CAHs also offer 24-hour emergency services and can use “swing beds” for post-acute care, similar to a skilled nursing facility.
Rural Acute Care Hospitals
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 282NR1301X
Rural acute care hospitals provide a range of services, including emergency care, inpatient stays, and outpatient services like lab testing and primary care, serving as a vital health and economic hub for their communities.
Their specific services can vary based on community needs, with some focusing more on emergency care, like the new Rural Emergency Hospital (REH) model.
In contrast, others offer more comprehensive services, such as obstetrics or critical access care.
