独特的 (tertiary acute) Explanation: "unique" or "one of a kind" We think the words are back to front as there are alot of references to "tertiary acute" which is defined as "one of a kind" Reference: http://www.bcmhas.ca/News/RiverviewRedevelopmentProject/RVHr... |

In principle, 'acute' could also be a modifier, why not--as Chinese Concept suggested. I don't know the answer, I can only tell you how I approached your question. My first reaction towards 'acute tertiary' was a tertiary hospital with emergency department (instinct). Then to varify my thought, I googled the term with "" on, the outcome was promising. Then I read upon couple of hits (particularly with .gov;.org;.edu etc) which further confirmed my thought. Then to be sure, I googled 'non-acute' vs 'acute' care. That was how I reached my decision. It is however always beneficial to think outside of the box, thanks!
