Swing Bed Update – No Standing Still in Healthcare

Change is accelerating in all of healthcare but more rapid regulatory changes are coming to SNF (and by default to Swing Beds). It is time to recommit to swing bed services, first by reviewing the pros and cons of the last year, then developing a course of action to improve or update the program, and thus looking back to move ahead. Through this review of the latest CMS and industry updates, as well as several subject defined guest presentations, both PPS and CAH swing bed programs will learn ways to reignite swing bed services in this rapid regulatory and reimbursement world.
