Encore une discussion sur "acute care"

et certainement pas "unité de soins vigilants" (mon dieu!)

Intensive care is NOT acute care.

http://nurseweb.ucsf.edu/www/spec-acp.htm

In short, ACNPs are needed to help assess and manage acutely ill patients within the inpatient/hospital setting and across hospital-to-clinic settings, including the emergency department, intensive care unit, specialty labs, acute and sub-acute care wards, specialty clinics, or any combination of the above.

Intensive and Critical Care: The Surgical Critical Care Team includes 8 full-time intensivists providing 24/7 coverage. The intensivist-led Surgical Critical Care Team is in essence the ‘captain of the ship’, being solely responsible for all care given to the ICU patient. As opposed to care being the responsibility of many single organ doctors (SOD), this model of care delivery in an ICU environment has been shown to decrease errors, morbidity, mortality, and length of stay[i]. Each of the ICUs is state-of-the-art with bedside automated computer systems including neuroassessment data, laboratory results, nursing notes, and digitalized radiology, among others.

Acute Care: Once stable and able to move out of the ICU setting, patients with SCI benefit from the newly renovated Neuroscience Unit (2E and 2E-IMC). This unit was designed to provide state-of-the-art care for individuals with neurological disease or injury.

unité de réanimation

Explanation:
L'un de mes clients me demande de traduire systématiquement "acute care unit" par "unité de réanimation", ou "réa".

Une autre référence : http://www.has-sante.fr/portail/upload/docs/application/pdf/...
proposant une définition des "soins aigus" : "L’OMS utilise également une catégorie appelée hôpitaux de soins aigus (acute care hospitals). Il s’agit des établissements généraux et spécialisés avec une durée de séjour relativement courte.
Ces établissements se distinguent de ceux avec une durée de séjour relativement longue (établissements psychiatriques, gériatrique, de réadaptation et de soins infirmiers) (OMS
database). Les soins aigus sont quant à eux définis par l’OCDE lorsque la durée moyenne de séjour est de 18 jours ou moins."
