Challenges Faced by ACHs

Acute care hospitals (ACHs) are focused on short-term treatment, and are often expected to manage increasingly complex cases without always having the in-house specialists to support them. Gaps in specialty coverage—especially at night, on weekends, or during staff turnover—can lead to costly transfers, longer lengths of stay, and clinician burnout.
