Acute Care Definition
Acute care is simply an active treatment for short-term needs. In contrast, long-term care is for patients who need assistance to function in their daily lives. Practitioners try to make this care fit seamlessly into a patient’s routine. Long-term care is often performed in a group home, nursing home, or in a person’s residence. Acute care is often performed in a hospital setting or doctor’s office for quick, urgent treatment.

Emergency Room Services
Emergency rooms serve patients with acute needs. Often, these needs include accidents, injuries, or sudden medical needs. Emergency rooms are equipped to handle rapidly changing conditions for accurate care at all times.
Intensive Care
A patient’s needs can also change rapidly in the hospital. Therefore, intensive care units are necessary. The ICU is another example of acute care. Patients who have a sudden decline in their health can be treated quickly with the help of specialized tools and practitioners.
Urgent Care
Urgent care centers (such as PCP For Life) are another great example of acute care. Sometimes, a patient has an urgent non-emergency need. Patients can visit an urgent care for sudden sicknesses, minor injuries, or also for primary care purposes.
