From what I know, Promise is what we refer to as an LTAC, which means long term acute care facility. As a case manager, we transfer pt's from an acute care hospital setting to a LTAC to continue acute care and combine with a rehab setting. It's great way for acute hospitals to decrease their LOS. Working at TVRH in the past, one problem w transferring pt's to an LTAC was that they were so far away. Now TV has one locally, or I hope so.
