Acute Care
“…includes all promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative or palliative actions, whether oriented towards individuals or populations, whose primary purpose is to improve health and whose effectiveness largely depends on time-sensitive and, frequently, rapid intervention.”

What are the challenges of our current acute care/hospital care models?
Pix source: online.wsj.com
Challenges of Acute Care
ØLimited access to “timely” careØInefficient approaches to managing acute
illnesses– Cares are provided in a fragmented, poorly coordinated care
provided by multidisciplinary providers– Financial burdens of healthcare expenditure, especially from
the ineffective and inefficient interventions– Too many patchwork efforts that may improve outcomes for
specific conditions (“vertical programs”) but not the overall functioning of the health system
“You can’t solve today’s problems with yesterday’s solutions.”

Changes at Micro-level: – Advancing medical knowledge– Disrupting healthcare technology and innovation
Changes at Meso-level:– Improving healthcare delivery design
Changes at Macro-level:– Changing demography– Emerging economies and geopolitical systems– Global change, megatrends that affect health and healthcare

Improving Acute Care?
ØTo develop an acute care service delivery model that will function in parallel with preventive and primary services.
ØTo improve coordination between deliverers of acute care services, such as emergency physicians, surgeons and obstetricians, to deliver critical acute care services efficiently and effectively.

Improving Acute Care?
ØTo quantify the burden of acute care diseases and injuries, including health economics and cost-effectiveness components, to justify integrating acute care within health systems.
ØTo hold national and international discussions to encourage better integration of acute care within local and national health systems.

• Subacute care (California): – A level of care needed by a patient who does not require
hospital acute care, but who requires more intensive skilled nursing care than is provided to the majority of patients in a skilled nursing facility.
– Pediatric subacute care is a level of care needed by a person less than 21 years of age who uses a medical technology that compensates for the loss of a vital bodily function.
– Subacute patients are medically fragile and require special services, such as inhalation therapy, tracheotomy care, intravenous tube feeding, and complex wound management care.
Subacute Care? Intermediate Care? Transitional Care?
Source:www.dhcs.ca.gov/provgovpart/Pages/SubacuteCare.aspx
• Intermediate care (UK): – An approach to health care intended to facilitate patients' transitions from
illness to recovery, or to prevent their transition from home managed chronic impairment to institution-based dependence, or to help terminally ill people be as comfortable as possible at the end of their lives
– That range of services designed to facilitate transition from hospital to home, and from medical dependence to functional independence, where the objectives of care are not primarily medical, the patients' discharge destination is anticipated, and a clinical outcome of recovery (or restoration of health) is desired
– Those services that do not require the resources of a general hospital, but are beyond the scope of the traditional primary care team. These can include “substitutional care” and “care for people with complex needs”

Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

• Emergency Medical Services (EMS): a system that provides emergency medical care, which is activated by an incident that causes serious illness or injury, and also a system of coordinated response and emergency medical care, involving multiple people and agencies.

Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Source:www.ems.gov/whatisems.htm
ØAn EMS system should comprise all of the following components:– Agencies and organizations (both private and public)– Communications and transportation networks– Trauma systems, hospitals, trauma centers, and specialty care
centers– Rehabilitation facilities– Highly trained professionals– Volunteer and career prehospital personnel– Physicians, nurses, and therapists– Administrators and government officials– An informed public that knows what to do in a medical emergency
