Ken Lester, Finance Director for DCH, is also the director for Home Health and Affiliated Services. He explains the mjor bene- fits of the program as predominantly affecting the elderly: "The swing program fits in between a hospital stay where acute care is needed, and a return to the home environment When a patient is e too well to need hospital care, but not well enough & go home, this option allows them the extra skilled nursing cars they need with less expense than a regular hospital stay. When the patient is feeling better-- or technically, when the er y, ' tems for most elderly people only pay two to three days in the hospital, but continue to pay expenses under the swing program, as long as some simple requirements are met In addition, he says, the program is unlimited as to the number of days a patient can stay; they will continue to patients who fit the criteria as long as flu hospital still has non. The patients stay can be as long as needed, but the typical insurance coverage at 100 per centis 20 days.

It provides a real emotional cuahion, with no interruption and continual a4juatment in care according to their needs. Nursing home personnel are then able to devote more time to the care of those elderly who have no other option than the coivalscent setting: " Additionally, ongoing ailments are allowed for in the program, so gaps in insurance coverage are lessened. The difference in the care received under the swing program is marginal, Lester points out To quality for the program, the patient must still need skilled nursing can. But the nursing care is while the physician prevalent ' care decreases, and all care is leas intense. The program is also the ideal situation for those needing physical therapy or orthopedic care, since they are still within the hospital and within ready access to those services. Though the program was approved some time ago; before Lester or Hatch had joined the hospital staff there was no one to administer the details. It is now in its third week, with several patients eqjoying the benefits of this unique program. Physicians Aa--' sistent Jim Hoopes will also assist in the operation ofvarious aspects, and the entire nursing staff will be an integral part of its success. We at Duchesne County Hospital are very proud ofthe staff and facilities here, states Lester. new program: "Physicians remain in dose proximity to their patients and are readily available for consultation; the physician may then be involved to a greater or leaser extent, as the patients needs dictate. There is also a grea ter access to diagnostic and rehabilitative services with the patient still within the hospital Further, the transition time between a hospital stay and wellness that the swing program affords is often critical in a comfortable return to a home environment Finally, the quality of care for a transitional patient remains high, with the environment familiar and acceptable; the primary focus is then shifted to the patients discharge. The hospital has provided Home Health Services for some time, an option that goes a step' beyond the swingprogram to allow sane additional skilled nursing care to the patient when he or she has returned home, she adds. Home Health will benefit from the swing program too, since it is so much easier to care for an individual at home when he or she is . feeling better. Incidentally, the Affiliated Services arm of the hospital involves all services that can be considered alternate to regular acute care within a hospital. Lester, with Hatch as coordinator, have the responsibility of overseeing those services to assure that they meet the needs of the community.

"Often, people are afraid to be admitted to a convalescent center, fearing they will have to stay there, says Lester. "This program allows them the 4.

The scholarships will be ' awarded to five students from Duchesne County, five from Uintah County, and two from Daggett County.
