Hospital diversion programs function when a pt doesn't need the level of care a hospital provides, that a nursing home can provide. If I understand correctly, what they are referring to is when a pt needs to transfer from a nursing home to a hospital for increased level of care and tests. They can send pts out for tests, but do not have the staff to provide the care necessary for round the clock monitoring, or access to immediate tests and procedures as necessary.
