In the world of rural health, rehab services are such an important component of health care. With the limitations of resources and reimbursement models, CAH swing bed programs are a hidden gem for post acute care, especially when it comes to rehab. It’s the last arena where we can deliver high quality care without as many limiting parameters that affect delivery of care. Many programs mismanage, lose track or don’t realize the potential that is within their grasp when it comes to therapy. Rehab can mistakenly direct services in other settings of the hospital and lose the priority of its role in a swing bed program. We hope to bring a refreshing and new perspective in the delivery of post acute rehab services in CAH skilled care/swing bed programs.
Swing Bed continues to be a critical program and revenue source for Critical Access Hospitals. However, because the Swing Bed regulatory requirements are different than those for other acute care, it continues to be an area of confusion. The webinar will review the current Conditions of Participation (CoPs) and changes within the last year, including admission criteria, patient disclosures at admission and discharge, and documentation. The webinar will discuss discipline-specific responsibilities and approaches to working as a team.
The presentation will highlight each of the 15 service lines, paying special attention to the most common and the newest options. Including: What patients qualify for Chronic Care Management (CCM); What constitutes complex care coordination; New reimbursable service lines, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and caregiver training; Community health integration (CHI) which was added in 2025.
Many Critical Access Hospitals care for non-certified or long-term Swing Bed patients. Non-certified generally refers to Swing Bed patients who stay in the Swing Bed for an extended period, often for the duration of their lives. These patients must be provided with care and services to ensure that care is provided in a manner and in an environment that promotes maintenance or enhancement of their quality of life, recognizing each resident’s individuality.
