ABSTRACT
More rural hospitals now have the opportunity to offer long-term care services under the expanded Federal swing-bed program. The ability to use inpatient beds for acute care or skilled nursing care can, in many cases, help rural hospitals improve their occupancy levels and increase revenues. However, hospitals must be aware of the need to closely monitor costs.
