A serious problem in rural areas is low occupancy for acute care hospital beds and a desperate need for additional long-term care beds. In Utah, this problem has been solved through the "swing bed" concept. Under this program, underutilized acute care beds can be used for long-term care patients. As a result, all beds are more fully utilized, and long-term care patients in rural areas do not have to be moved to cities.
农村地区的一个严重问题是急性护理医院床位占用率低，且迫切需要增加长期护理床位。在犹他州，这个问题通过“摇摆床”概念得到了解决。根据该计划，未充分利用的急性护理床位可用于长期护理患者。因此，所有床位得到了更充分的利用，农村地区的长期护理患者也不必被转移到城市。
