Hospital overcrowding is leading to increased patient “boarding” in emergency rooms (ERs) across America. Patients, who are ready to be discharged, are stuck in the hospital because there are not enough beds in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in their area, thereby creating back-ups among patients in the ER waiting for admission. We need to expand post-acute care options urgently. Moving Health Home is working on policy to allow #Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for a SNF stay to receive services at home.
