Health care settings
Health care settings refer to various environments where health services are provided to individuals. These include hospitals, where urgent care and specialized treatments occur; primary care offices, where routine check-ups and preventive services are offered; urgent care centers for non-emergency situations needing prompt attention; and long-term care facilities like nursing homes for ongoing support. Additionally, there are outpatient clinics, home health care services, and rehabilitation centers. Each setting plays a crucial role in delivering health care, catering to different needs and ensuring patients receive appropriate care at various stages of their health journeys.
