Bridges Care Management

When an employee is discharged from the hospital, the expectation is that they’ll make a quick and successful transition back home. However, the health of a large number of chronically ill individuals rapidly declines and their readmission rates rise during this transition.

Now’s there’s care for the critical in-between.

Univita’s Bridges program is designed to help employees stay more independent and improve health care quality and service levels by managing care transitions from hospital to home. The program is shown to reduce hospital readmission rates by up to 30%—while also reducing overall health care costs. And it complements an employer’s existing processes and systems, from claims management to patient tracking.

• Evidence-based enrollment criteria help employers identify the right employees to target for the program. These readmission risk criteria include previous early readmission experience, selected diagnoses and length of their current hospital stay.
• A dedicated Univita care coach leads an interdisciplinary team of nurses, social workers, pharmacists and more in delivering comprehensive care.
• In-home visits allow our team to consider and manage all aspects of an employee’s care needs, from guiding loved ones in disbursing medication to empowering employees to play an instrumental role in their own care.
