peer agreement (net): +1Acute hospital Explanation: I don't think we have "acute hospitals" as such in Britain, only A&E Departments in general hospitals. Are there separate acute hospitals in Sweden? However, used broadly, "Acute Hospitals" means those hospitals with an A&E department - see references.

acute care hospital Explanation: Back when I worked for a company that owned and operated acute care hospitals across the U.S., this is what they were called internally and externally. Having read some Swedish sources on the role of their version, I see no reason not to use the term here. |
