Survey Procedures for Swing-Bed Approval

2038 - Survey Procedures for Swing-Bed Approval (Rev. 1, 05-21-04) The SA surveys any hospital that meets the six items listed in §2036 and that has begun to provide post-hospital SNF and NF care services. The SA may choose to use the optional Swing-Bed Survey Report that can be found with the Appendix T to record survey findings. The survey for swing-bed approval may be conducted at the same time as a survey of the hospital CoP at 42 CFR Part 482, although the findings must be documented on a separate Form CMS-2567.
