Introduction

Abstract

Faced with escalating costs, acute hospitals require alternative care locations to accommodate the needs of extended-stay patients, who account for a substantial proportion of healthcare expenditures. Long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) are designed to accommodate the complex needs of these patients. These hospitals offer a range of services that includes mechanical ventilation and respiratory therapy, wound care, dialysis, and cardiopulmonary monitoring. LTACHs offer an attractive, niche market for product suppliers.

Through 2005, the number of LTACHs in the U.S. grew rapidly. Changes in national healthcare policy, however, have greatly affected the organization of these hospitals as well as the type of services offered. This report examines trends in long-term acute care device markets, and provides patient and product forecasts for respiratory therapy, wound care, renal failure, and monitoring technologies through 2013.
