Thank you for your question regarding Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis (CMS0108v13). The "swing bed" designation relates to the type of care, not the hospital bed location. Patients admitted to the hospital Skilled Nursing Facility but awaiting transport or an available room should be considered admitted to the SNF, not as Hospital Acute Inpatient Care.
We recommend discussing with your EHR vendor where to pull patient hospital status instead of bed location. Or discussing with staff about designating the proper patient status when registering or admitting a patient within a “swing bed”.
