WHAT IS RECOVERY CARE?
Recovery Care refers to the care provided to patients after a stay in an acute care hospital. This type of care covers a range of medical services that support the individual's continued recovery from illness or management of a chronic illness or disability. For this reason, Medicare sometimes refers to this as "Post-Acute Care."
After a hospitalization, injury, or illness, many patients require continued medical care, either at home or in a specialized facility. Depending on the intensity of the care the patient requires, treatment may include an inpatient stay in a facility, ongoing outpatient therapy, or care provided at home.
As of 2014, approximately one quarter of all hospitalized patients were referred to some form of post-acute provider following their hospital stay.
Kathy Anderson serves as Executive Director of the Alliance for Recovery Care. She works closely with hospital members, manages the association’s budget and plans its events in Washington and around the country.
