Intermediate care Innovative care services outside the hospital can help to promote patient independence as well as more effective use of primary care resources.

Patients today have higher expectations for care and quality of life while also desiring to maintain their independence.

At the same time, healthcare providers seek to make the most effective use of hospital and clinical services by promoting faster recovery from illness, preventing unnecessary acute hospital admissions and supporting timely discharge.

These are areas where intermediate care can help, with rehabilitative and treatment services outside the hospital in community and home settings.
Linde Healthcare’s intermediate care solutions include:

• Transition care centres for respiratory patients
