The Right Conditions for Transitional Care

Overview

Determining patients’ needs for transitional care or long-term acute care depends on a number of different criteria. Some LTAC hospitals are more flexible with this criteria than others, but all have their own set of criteria to determine eligibility. As it is always up to the facility receiving the patient whether or not that patient meets their criteria, this can be a troublesome and difficult determination to make.
