Answer 2

"Health care" is an inter-related system that provides "care" to persons in wellness and during illness, through to death. A "health care setting" is any place that "health care" is given or accessed. Mostly in typical life, health care settings include the doctor's office, a hospital, out-patient (freestanding) office, laboratory, rehab or out-patient service like speech or physical rehab, any patient's home who receives "home care", and nursing homes or long term hospitals. But, a "health care setting" could also be held in a lobby, a room, a homeless shelter, a "health fair" held at a mall, etc. In disasters or war areas, a "health care setting" may be in the back of a truck or in a tent, partly destroyed building, or even on a street corner.
