Patients admitted to Bridgepoint’s Medical Activation Program have varying diagnoses, such as: - Post-acute medical illness;
- Prolonged ICU stay;
- ICU neuropathy;
- Cardiac conditions;
- Complex wounds;
- Neurological conditions (other than stroke, acquired brain injury, or Multiple Sclerosis); and
- Post-surgical conditions (transplants or prolonged, complicated post-operative course)
Patients no longer need to be in a general hospital setting, but require ongoing interdisciplinary assessment and intervention and require varying degrees of activation/rehabilitation. Patients are often older or are very weak and require a longer period of moderately intensive rehabilitation. Many have complex wound management issues. Most patients will return to community living or may require a transition to long-term care.
