What we do:
01
Quick Follow-Up Contact
If patients don't hear from us while they're still in inpatient care, they can expect a call within the first day or two after discharge.
03
Review of Discharge
We go over the patient's inpatient stay and help them make an indivualized plan of recovery.
05
Signing Orders
BridgeCare partners closely with home cares to make sure patients are getting the services they need, as soon as they can.
07
Weekly Follow-Ups
We offer weekly video or phone follow-up appointments . We check in with a patients' progress and make sure their needs are being met.
02
Appointments Within 7 Days
All our new patient appointments typically happen within the first seven days of discharge, which helps 'bridge' patients and meet their most pressing needs.
04
Medication Management
Our providers adjust medications, refill prescriptions, and even oversee IV antibiotics and parenteral nutrition.
06
Patient Education
For patients with chronic conditions, BridgeCare offers health literacy coaching. Our goal is to make sure patients understand how to best care and advocate for themselves. In doing so we can empower them to seek care at the appropriate places.
08
Patient Transition
When it's time for patients to 'graduate' from our services, we ensure they have enough medications and resources to take the next step in their care.
