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

 Thursday, April 27, 1:00 – 2:00 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.”

 Thursday, March 30, 2:00 – 3:00 pm CST

Join Hospital Revenue Cycle Expert Michael Berger and Revenue Cycle Director Rhonda Ridenour as they share how 30 rural healthcare facilities turned their in-house patient payment plans into immediate cash, resulting in improved financial metrics. With over 30 years of senior revenue cycle leadership in 35 states, Michael’s extensive experience was instrumental in developing and implementing the collaborative approach that prioritized patient and community satisfaction. This ongoing program also led to benefits such as reduced cost-to-collect, bad debt reduction, and increased cash-on-hand. By attending this webinar, you’ll learn how to replicate these results at your own healthcare facility while engaging patients and improving their satisfaction.
