BridgeCare™
The St. Croix Hospice BridgeCare program™ enhances the quality of care provided on the weekend by bridging the gap in care that can occur for hospice patients admitted from Friday to Monday. The BridgeCare program™ provides a daily RN visit each day of the weekend for these new patients and schedules a Monday St. Croix Hospice RN Case Manager visit.
When a patient makes the transition to hospice care they and their loved ones may have more questions and need extra support, information and education in those first few days during their hospice admission process. Our BridgeCare program™ ensures patients who are admitted on the weekend will have the daily support they need at the beginning of their hospice journey.
BridgeCare Program™ Benefits
- Daily in-person clinical support for patients admitted on the weekend
- Improved patient and family satisfaction
- Reduction in ER visits and re-admits
- Enhanced partnership with hospitals and facilities to ensure weekend hospice admits have additional support and do not readmit to the facility over the weekend
Example BridgeCare Program™ Weekend Admission
- Friday: Patient admits to hospice
- Saturday: St. Croix Hospice RN visit in first 24 hours
- Sunday: Routine St. Croix Hospice RN visit
- Monday: Patient’s St. Croix Hospice RN Case Manager initial visit
