Which health care provider organization is seeing an increase in the demand for their services?
a. Physician practice
b. Hospice service
c. Hospitals
d. Long-term care facilities
ANS: D
Hospital stays have shortened and patients who are admitted are more acutely ill and require more intensive care. Consequently, decreased hospital stays result in more home care admissions and more discharges to long-term care facilities for short-term recovery and rehabilitation. Hospice services and physician practices have not been as impacted as greatly by this shift in where care is provided.
