Swing Beds can be a financial lifeline for Critical Access Hospitals. This webinar will focus on swing bed regulations in Appendix W for Critical Access Hospitals. Interpretive guidelines and survey procedures are under Appendix PP – Long Term Care manual, which will be discussed in the corresponding regulation sections.
It is challenging to figure out what the interpretive guidelines and survey procedures are as there is there was no crosswalk between Appendix W – for CAH – and Appendix PP – Long Term Care. This webinar was created to assist hospitals in understanding what needs to be done.
Also to be discussed will be common deficiencies involving swing beds and how to avoid them.
