Before getting into some of Pennsylvania’s top acute care hospital renovation projects, though, let’s clear up something fundamental that isn’t always obvious:
What is acute care at a hospital?
Acute care is a term typically reserved for inpatient medical care at a hospital or any other healthcare facility where patient stays are often short-term for temporary surgery or treatment.
This distinction is important because in medical construction, different medical facilities are often lumped into the same projects. Acute care hospital projects may, therefore, involve and necessitate a broad range of materials and resources.
