Setting: Hospital / Acute Care

Acute Care is an inpatient hospital setting for individuals with a critical medical condition. These patients may have experienced a sudden decline in their medical and functional status due to a traumatic event (e.g., head trauma or spinal cord injury), a worsening of a progressive disease (e.g., emphysema or end-stage renal disease), or the onset of a new condition (e.g., myocardial infarction or stroke). The primary goal of acute care is to stabilize the patient’s medical status and address any threats to his or her life and loss of function. Research provides strong support for early mobilization of patients in acute hospital and critical care settings. Occupational therapy plays an important role in facilitating early mobilization, restoring function, preventing further decline, and coordinating care, including transition and discharge planning.
