Quality, Outcomes, and Opportunities

Integrated with Stroudwater’s Clinical and Quality team, our Data & Analytics team drives efficiency and increases profitability with innovative, cloud-based products. Our swing bed applications allow health systems and Critical Access Hospitals to easily view relevant information and key findings, as well as access swing bed program benchmarks throughout the state. With this information, hospital leaders can inventory the care delivery of inpatient post-acute skilled services available at each rural & community hospital and use this information to define, expand, and market their services to regional referral partners.

Swing Bed Gap Analysis

Swing Beds provide an essential inpatient skilled level of service for rural communities. To help hospitals optimize their clinical programs and evaluate the use of available resources, Stroudwater has developed the Swing Bed Gap Analysis program.

Swing Bed Quality Reporting Program

As leaders in rural healthcare, we have partnered with national researchers to provide the first Quality Improvement web application to help Critical Access Hospitals manage, track and benchmark post-acute measures.
