“中间设施”是来自英美的译词。其概念比较模糊,大体上可以理解为:1.它是现行医院和老年疗养院以外的一种设施的总称。2。中间设施是一种伴随时代变化,当传统的设施面临难以解决的问题时而产生的相关性新型设施,具有多种功能。3.它是一种为适应出院返回家庭生活(或社会生活),即家庭与医院之间的设施 “Intermediate facilities” are translated words from Britain and the United States. The concept is rather vague and can be roughly understood as: 1. It is the general term for a facility other than the current hospital and the elderly nursing home. 2. The middle facility is a new type of facility that is associated with changes in the times and when traditional facilities face problems that are difficult to solve, and has multiple functions. 3. It is a facility for returning to family life (or social life) in order to adapt to discharge from the hospital, ie between home and hospital
