Definition
Health care facilities that provide extensive professional nursing care for patients whose illnesses cannot be fully resolved during their acute short-term stay but who no longer need the extensive diagnostic medical technology offered by a traditional acute care hospital. Extended acute care hospitals are not required to offer emergency treatment or critical care services to the community.
