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.
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
