NRHA Upcoming Webinar: Swing Bed Culture and Attention to Rural Healthcare, a Transitional Care Model
Thursday, April 27, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. 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. Allevant clients have cared for over 12,000 patients, representing over 158,000 swing bed days.
With a strong focus on quality, outcomes, and growth, Allevant 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.”
