AB The  post-acute  care  (PAC)  sector  is  a  continuum  of  businesses  that  serve  patients  discharged  from  acute  care  hospitals  for  follow-up  care  in  less-intensive,  more-appropriate,  and  lower-cost  settings  (Figure  14-1).  PAC  settings  include:  home  healthcare  agencies  (HHAs),  intermediate  rehabilitation  facilities  (IRFs),  skilled  nursing  facilities  (SNFs),  and  long-term  care  hospitals  (LTCHs);  some  classifications  also  include  hospices.
