Abstract

Recent enhancements to subacute care services are threatened due to the uncertain future of federal–state funding agreements

The term “subacute” was coined for use in Australia 21 years ago to describe health care where the patient's need for care is driven predominantly by his or her functional status rather than principal diagnosis.1 Subacute care includes rehabilitation, palliative care, geriatric evaluation and management, and psychogeriatrics. Rehabilitation represents more than 50% of all subacute hospital care in Australia.
