Swing Bed Programs: Navigating the Pre-Admission Process
August 19, 2025 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EDT
To maintain compliance with CMS’ swing bed requirements, rural and critical access hospitals (CAHs) must have robust processes in place to screen patients for eligibility, beginning on the first day of their acute hospital stay. In the second session of our swing bed webinar series, we share best practices to help hospitals establish these processes and assess their readiness for a swing bed program. We’ll be joined by Dena Klockman, Eastern Plains CFO at Banner Health, who will share insights from her organization’s swing bed program experience.
