A Plan for the Conversion of a Tuberculosis Hospital to an Intermediate Facility for the Care of the Long-Term Case: The Importance of Such A Facility in Community Planning for the Medical Care of the Chronically Ill
Abstract
This is a very important paper in its description of a means of meeting a growing problem in every community. The problem is that of chronic illness, more often in the aged, but actually in all age groups. A solution is offered to provide hospital care beyond the acute phase of the illness, to provide rehabilitation and at a lesser cost to the taxpayer than maintaining a bed in the expensive environment of a general hospital. A few communities are facing this problem, many more will need to in coming years.This content is limited to qualifying members.
