Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Specialty hospitals are not the same as nursing homes or transitional units. Specialty hospitals are typically designed to provide highly specialized medical care for specific conditions or patient populations, such as mental health disorders, cancer treatment, or rehabilitation after a traumatic injury. They may also have longer average lengths of stay than general acute care hospitals, but they are not the same as nursing homes.
