Hospitals/Large Healthcare
Ideal for:
Clinical Coordination Programs & Executive Recruiting
Building Leaders, Transforming Hospitals & Improving Care
We know you are committed to improving patient care and maintaining viability for your facility, however, it can be difficult managing everything on your plate, especially in a rural hospital. With increasing regulatory demands, and requirements to do more with less, you may be seeking support to help you while considering your bottom line.
WHA partners with HealthTech to provide the support you need. As former hospital leaders and executives, they understand rural healthcare and know the challenges of staying up-to-date with the continuous changes that occur every day.

Developing and improving swing bed programs to meet hospital volume, financial, and patient satisfaction goals.Â
Swing beds are an important service line for Critical Access Hospitals and are a key service line for meeting both community needs and enhancing financial performance. Unfortunately, in many Critical Access Hospitals, swing beds are under-utilized. This may be the result of staff not understanding swing bed criteria, or lack of aggressive marketing to capture referrals from acute care hospitals, or both.
Assessment
HealthTech conducts a site visit to assess your program and identify any gaps with regulatory requirements as well as staff and provider understanding and knowledge of swing bed processes.
Development or Revision
- Policies and procedures
- Patient admission and discharge notices
- Job descriptions and staff competency

- Staff and provider education (including jRAVEN software and the RAI Process Minimum Data Set education for acute care hospitals, swing bed programs, and skilled nursing facilities)
- Patient satisfaction surveys (given upon discharge)
Support
HealthTech provides support by telephone and email for up to 12 months after initial engagement.
Alleviate Survey Worries
HealthTech provides Mock Surveys to assess survey readiness including organizations accredited by the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services, The Joint Commission, Det Norske Veritas, and Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program.
They provide surveys and assist with plans of correction for PPS and Critical Access Hospitals, Home Health and Hospice, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and Rural Health Centers.
“Our CMS/State Life Safety Survey was a huge success! The surveyor said our 5 K-Tags were the fewest he had written in four years. We had no conditions. He said the books and their organization were some of the best he had seen. We couldn’t have achieved that without the help of a HealthTech mock survey and the constant help along the way!”
