What if one of the most powerful resources for improving patient flow, strengthening transitions, and keeping appropriate care close to home is already inside your hospital? Rehabilitation professionals can play a pivotal role across the critical access continuum; from screening acute admissions and identifying patients who may benefit from therapy, to supporting appropriate  transitions into swing bed care and determining post-discharge rehabilitation needs. Presented by Bencura, this session explores practical strategies  for integrating PT, OT, and SLP earlier and more intentionally into the patient journey. Participants will examine how a proactive rehabilitation model can support timely intervention, appropriate utilization of swing bed services, smoother care transitions, and stronger clinical and operational outcomes.
