Acute care is the inpatient hospital setting that an individual is admitted to when they have a sudden medical emergency. The main goal for the patient in the acute care setting is to be stabilized and treated, then the medical team (with the help of OT and PT) can figure out their discharge plan when they’re stable and ready to leave the hospital.

Patients’ conditions range from motor vehicle accidents, strokes, cardiac complications, falls, sudden illness, burns, and everything in between.

The main focus in the acute care setting is not solely rehab, but medically stabilizing the person first and foremost. If occupational therapy is ordered by the attending physician, the OT will evaluate the patient and if indicated, treat them for the (usually) few short days the patient is in this setting.

The biggest goal for the OT or COTA is to help assist the medical team with where the patient goes next, whether it is home, home with assist and home health, subacute rehab, long term acute care, inpatient rehab, or elsewhere, depending on their individual situation. This is along with treating them while they’re in acute care.
