| Annotation | The concept of "intermediate care" (IC) became policy in the NHS Plan and was implemented in England under the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF), and is conceived as a range of service models aimed at "care closer to home". However, IC has been criticised as being ambiguous and imprecise, including components of assessment, convalescence, respite and rehabilitation. This guidance outlines examples of IC schemes; the evidence base for IC; IC and specialist medical assessment; and clinical governance. (RH). |
