Swing Bed Services

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general)
Gracias de antemano. El término aparece en una lista de servicios médicos. Creo que se refiere a un programa de Medicare que permite adaptar las habitaciones de hospitales a distintos tipos de cuidados según las necesidades. ¿Alguna sugerencia de cómo ponerlo en español?

Saludos

In the US these services are usually translated as: Servicios hospitalarios de transición (Swing Bed). Personally I am not crazy about this translation :-/

Mi opción. Saludos,

Es el servicio de rehabilitación, postoperatorio, tras enfermedad, etc. Por tanto es otro nivel de asistencia hospitalaria y que el programa de Medicare da opción a que puedan recibir esta asistencia ingresados en el hospital, si es posible el mismo en el que se encuentra el paciente, u otro, antes de ser dados de alta, en lugar de recibirla como paciente ambulatorio o en un centro de rehabilitación ubicado fuera del hospital.

If you find yourself needing time to recover from a surgery, illness or injury, a Swing Bed program would allow you to recover in a hospital setting, versus a nursing home. In the hospital, you would have easy access to nursing care and therapies. The goal of a Swing Bed program is to assist you or your loved one in becoming as independent as possible before discharge.

When is Swing Bed appropriate?
If you or a loved one needs any of the following care, Swing Bed would be appropriate:
• Need to heal and regain strength through physical, occupational and speech therapies to aid in a safe return home or to other living arrangements, post acute medical or surgical stay
• Specialized wound care
• IV therapy
• Orthopedic rehabilitation post any surgery
• Stroke rehabilitation

What types of services do Swing Bed programs offer?
The goal with a Swing Bed program is to help you achieve your maximum level of function and return home. Because Swing Bed programs are located within hospitals, they’re often able to offer specialized service such as:

la razón del término está dada por el uso que se da a la cama: tratamiento de enfermo crítico (gravedad relativa) o mantenerlo en hospitalización para recuperación total de una condición que ha mejorado. "swings from one level of care to another"

Swing Bed services

Esto te pudiera servir de algo.

The Social Security Act (the Act) permits certain small, rural hospitals to enter into a swing bed agreement, under which the hospital can use its beds, as needed, to provide either acute or SNF care. As defined in the regulations, a swing bed hospital is a hospital or critical access hospital (CAH) participating in Medicare that has CMS approval to provide post-hospital SNF care and meets certain requirements. Medicare Part A (the hospital insurance program) covers post-hospital extended care services furnished in a swing bed hospital.

Under the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997, swing bed facilities must be incorporated into the skilled nursing facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS) by the end of a statutory transition period. This applies to short term hospitals, long term hospitals, and rehabilitation hospitals certified as swing bed hospitals. CAHs with swing beds are exempt from the SNF PPS under more recent legislation. To qualify for SNF-level services, a beneficiary is required to receive acute care as a hospital inpatient for a medically necessary stay of at least 3 consecutive calendar days. Effective with cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2002, swing bed hospitals will no longer be paid based on the current cost-related method, but rather on the basis of the SNF PPS.
