Snippet: The non-intuitive term "long-term acute care hospital (LTACH)" is viewed as the antonym of short-term acute care hospital (STACH). The term originates with Medicare bureaucrats who define LTACH as an acute care hospital with a mean length of stay of at least 25 days. Prolonged ventilation has been variously defined, as greater than 2 days, 14 days or 29 days, and now is generally, but arbitrarily, defined as at least 21 consecutive days of mechan.....
Document: The non-intuitive term "long-term acute care hospital (LTACH)" is viewed as the antonym of short-term acute care hospital (STACH). The term originates with Medicare bureaucrats who define LTACH as an acute care hospital with a mean length of stay of at least 25 days. Prolonged ventilation has been variously defined, as greater than 2 days, 14 days or 29 days, and now is generally, but arbitrarily, defined as at least 21 consecutive days of mechanical ventilation [61] . A number of different names has been applied to facilities focused on weaning from prolonged ventilation, including step-down units, respiratory intensive care units, and intermediate care units, which are located within a short-term acute care hospital, or a LTACH, which commonly is a free-standing hospital [61] .
