licensed to provide acute care services to patients that require
an extended length of stay, usually 20 to 30 days.
BHECH is an independently managed long-term acute care hospital co-located on the campus of BHMC-LR.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LTACH SERVICES And SKILLED NURSING
REHABILITATION CARE?
LTACHs provide daily physician visits, an acute care environment
with specially trained nurses and therapists, and access to continuing
diagnostic and treatment procedures.
WHAT
IS eICU AND WHAT IS IT FOR?
Electronically-monitored intensive
care, or eICU, enhances bedside care of the critically
ill through the integration of skilled clinicians and advanced technology.
