I understand, however, This is definitely not used in hospitals that way. Acute is used as a measure of onset. "Acuity" is a measure of severity though. At least that's how we use it.
If you happen to know anyone in the medical field speak to them about it.
I worked in the ED for 4 years registering patients and writing out their symptoms.
my wife is a pediatric nurse. I am getting much of my information from her experience in the ED and her experience as a floor nurse in SRU.
