Alongside her, Elizabeth Kane, another VersaBadge Director of Client Success, capitalizes on her healthcare technology and economics background to devise practical, tailored solutions that elevate healthcare facility performance.

This webinar promises a wealth of valuable insights, empowering attendees with practical strategies to mitigate workplace violence, enhance caregiver safety, and foster a secure hospital environment. Gain firsthand knowledge of early intervention and de-escalation techniques, effective implementation of staff safety programs, and ways to foster a safety-centric culture in healthcare facilities of all sizes.

June 12, 2023

NRHA Partner Webinar – Swing Bed Culture and Attention to Wellness Vital to Rural Healthcare, A Transitional Care Model

When: Thursday, June 15, 2:00 – 3:00 pm CST

Allevant, a joint venture between Mayo Clinic and Select Medical, helps Critical Access Hospitals by developing post-acute Transitional Care programs using available Swing Beds. Focused on assisting patients to transition to their highest level of independence, Transitional Care is a program that involves the patient and family, makes available the total resources of the Critical Access Hospital, and focuses on measured outcomes and evidence-based processes to ensure patients get the best care possible.

Allevant has supported approximately 100 Critical Access Hospitals across 22 states, including independent and part of health systems. Our clients have cared for over 12,000 patients, representing over 158,000 swing bed days.

With a strong focus on quality, outcomes, and growth, our clients saw an average increase in swing bed days of 55% by the second year. 64% of patients were categorized as complex medical or complex surgical, a growing patient population. Only 7% of Transitional Care patients were discharged directly back to acute care during a program stay of fewer than 30 days. 76% of patients were discharged from Transitional Care back to independence. The average patient rating was 4.83 out of 5 when asked if patients would “recommend the program to others.”
