Acute Care

The Acute Care/Swing Bed unit at Montgomery General Hospital is committed to providing quality health care services to our community. This twenty five bed unit is equipped with telemetry (cardiac monitoring) and provides services to adult patients recovering from medical illness, injury, disease or surgical procedures.

This unit delivers excellent care through an interdisciplinary team approach. We utilize the expertise of Physicians, Mid-level providers, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Nursing Assistants, Pharmacists, Social workers, Respiratory and Physical therapists and all other disciplines throughout the organization. The goal of the Acute Care/Swing Bed staff is to help the patient attain the highest possible level of health. In the plan of care, this unit offers patient education, smoking cessation counseling, dietary counseling, medication counseling, and other information as applicable to obtain/maintain a healthy lifestyle.

In order to ensure continuity of care, the staff of the Acute Care/Swing Bed unit will make arrangements for a patient’s transfer to another facility if a different level of services is required or if healthcare assistance is needed once leaving our facility.

Chronic Care Management

CCM services are extensive, including:

  • Structured recording of patient health information
  • Maintaining comprehensive electronic care plans
  • Managing care transitions and other care management services
  • Coordinating and sharing patient health information promptly within and outside the practice CCM service elements apply to complex and non-complex CCM unless otherwise specified.

You’ll typically provide CCM services outside of face-to-face patient visits and focus on advanced primary care characteristics like:

  • Continuous patient relationship with a chosen care team member
  • Supporting the patient with a chronic disease in achieving health goals
  • 24/7 patient access to care and health information
  • Patient getting preventive care
  • Patient and caregiver engagement
  • Prompt sharing and using patient health information

Eligible CCM patients will have multiple (2 or more) chronic conditions that are expected to last at least 12 months or until the patient’s death or that place them at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation or decompensation, or functional decline. These services aren’t typically face-to-face and allow eligible practitioners to bill at least 20 minutes or more of care coordination services per month.

Providing 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week (24/7) access to physicians or other qualified practitioners or clinical staff, including providing patients or caregivers with a way to contact their health care practitioners to discuss urgent needs no matter the day or time

  • Providing continuity of care with a designated care team member with whom the patient can schedule routine appointments and who’s regularly in touch with the patient to help them manage their chronic conditions
  • Providing patients and caregivers a way to communicate with their practitioners about their care by phone and through secure messaging, secure web, or other asynchronous non-face-to-face consultation methods (like email or a secure electronic patient portal)

Swing Beds

What is Swing Bed?

MGH offers an accredited Swing Bed Program which allows patients to remain at or transfer to our facility following discharge for rehabilitation. The short-stay program serves individuals who are in a transition phase of illness or recovery and no longer require acute care services. The program provides personalized nursing care and individualized therapies to assist patients in reaching their highest potential for health and independence prior to returning home.

The Swing Bed program allows physicians to “swing” a patient’s level of care from an acute level to rehabilitation level while keeping them in a hospital setting. The purpose of the swing bed program is to give patients individualized care and more time to recover and gain strength before leaving the hospital.

What services are included?

The program is ideal for patients who require skilled nursing services, physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy.

How long can patients stay? The Swing Bed program is considered short-term. The average length of stay for patients who participate and make progress is generally one to two weeks. For patients unable to return home that require long-term care, referrals to MGH and other long-term care facilities may be made.
