Swing Bed program
The UT Health Quitman swing bed program is designed to help patients “swing” or transition from an acute hospitalization back to the community at the same level of independence and function they had prior to entering the hospital. The program allows patients to remain in the hospital, in the same room, with the same physician(s), nurses and hospital staff while continuing to heal and gain the strength needed to return home. Our focus is short-term rehabilitative services and/or less intensive medical care.
Through this program, we deliver high quality inpatient and outpatient services, reflecting our unmatched commitment to healthcare. We are a 25-bed healthcare complex specially designed to meet patient and family needs. UT Health Quitman offers the following services:
- 24-hour physician-staffed emergency department, designated a Level IV trauma center with a Level IV stroke center certification
- Fully equipped laboratory and radiology departments
- General and orthopedic surgery
- IV antibiotic therapy
- Inpatient hospital care with telemetry monitored beds
- Nutrition therapy
- Pain management services
- Palliative care, which is focused on relieving symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illness
- Physical, occupational, and respiratory therapy
- UT Health East Texas Physicians clinics located in Quitman with visiting specialists in cardiology, pulmonology, podiatry, pain management, orthopedics and ear, nose and throat
- Wound care for non-healing wounds
Who qualifies for the swing bed program?
- Patients who have completed at least a three-day stay as an acute care patient
- Patients in need of ongoing monitoring and rehabilitative care
- Patients with Medicare as their primary insurance
- Patients who have been referred by their physician
How long will I be in the swing bed program?
Patient needs vary, so treatment plans are designed to meet individual needs. However, one to two weeks is the average length of stay, with stays rarely exceeding three weeks.
What will happen when my swing bed stay ends?
Our case manager and/or discharge planning staff will assist you in making plans for your post-hospital living situation. If needed, you will be directed to services such as home healthcare and outpatient therapy.
