OVERVIEW:
Swing beds can be a financial lifeline for Critical Access Hospitals (CAH). This webinar will focus on swing bed regulations in Appendix W for CAHs. 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 no crosswalk between Appendix W for CAH and Appendix PP for Long-Term Care. This webinar will assist hospitals in understanding these complexities.
Finally, this session will discuss common deficiencies involving swing beds and how to avoid them.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this series, participants should be able to:
• Discuss the requirements for a patient to be admitted to Swing Bed status.
• Recite how to locate the regulations, interpretive guidelines and survey procedures for swing beds.
• Describe what CMS requires to be in the resident assessment.
• Recall the CMS requirements for emergency dental care for swing bed patients.

Chief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Compliance Officer, Emergency Department Personnel, Joint Commission Coordinator, Medical Records, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager, Legal Counsel.
