    • ​​Thank you for your suggestion on CMS506, Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. Patients discharged to swing beds are not excluded from the denominator, but this is an exclusion we are considering for future versions of the measure.

      If a patient transfers from an acute inpatient facility to a non acute inpatient facility such as swing bed should they be included in this measure?

      We would suggest you exclude acute inpatients that discharge from acute to be admitted to swing bed status.   CAH patients admitted to swing bed remain in the hospital for close monitoring.
