Canopy Surveys Swing Bed
Swing bed surveys built for rural hospitals.
A swing bed survey measures the experience of patients receiving skilled, post-acute care in a hospital swing bed — a program run almost entirely by rural and Critical Access Hospitals. No CMS-required survey line covers that stay, so Canopy fields a dedicated swing bed survey on the same platform as HCAHPS.
What is a swing bed survey?
A hospital swing bed lets a rural hospital keep a patient for skilled, post-acute care — rehab, wound care, recovery — in the same building, close to home, instead of transferring them away. A swing bed survey measures that stay: the care, the communication, the therapy, and the discharge home.
No CMS-required survey line covers it — which is exactly why most vendors don’t offer one. We do, because swing-bed programs are a cornerstone of the Critical Access Hospitals we’ve served for 11 years — and because the feedback feeds directly into the quality work platforms like Concise are built to run.

How the swing bed line works.
Same rigor as the required lines, pointed at the stay that actually sends patients home.
-
1
We sample your swing-bed stays
Discharged swing-bed patients are drawn consistently — even when the program is a handful of stays a month.
-
2
We field the survey
Multi-mode outreach reaches patients after the stay that actually sent them home — so the recovery experience gets measured, not assumed.

We report
Scores, comments, and trends land beside your other lines — evidence your quality program and your board can actually use.
The line we run because rural is who we are
A rural staple deserves more than a guess.
Swing-bed care keeps recovery close to home — it’s often what makes a Critical Access Hospital irreplaceable to its community. Measuring that experience shouldn’t require inventing a survey program from scratch. Ours is already built.
- A survey line built specifically for swing-bed programs
- Reporting your QAPI and MBQIP work can actually use
- Acute and swing-bed experience side by side in one dashboard
- 11 years running survey programs for the hospitals that run swing beds
Frequently asked questions.
A patient experience survey for hospital swing-bed stays — the skilled, post-acute care rural hospitals deliver in beds that "swing" between acute and skilled-nursing use. It measures the experience of that recovery stay: the care, the communication, and the discharge home.
No — no CMS-required survey line covers swing-bed stays. Hospitals field one because the swing-bed program is a cornerstone of rural care, and because quality programs like QAPI and MBQIP run on exactly this kind of measured feedback.
HCAHPS asks about the acute inpatient stay. A swing-bed stay is different care — longer, recovery-focused, with its own goals — and measuring it well takes questions written for it.
Yes — it runs on the same platform as HCAHPS and the rest of your lines, with one team and one set of dashboards covering the whole stay, acute through swing.
Surveys are administered on a HIPAA-secure platform. This marketing website handles no patient data at all.
