Ensuring patients have follow-up care after leaving the hospital or Emergency Department (ED) is critical to recovery.
Population Health’s Bridge to Primary Care Program is a short-term telehealth service for patients without a Primary Care Provider (PCP) after discharge from the ED or an inpatient stay. Our Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) conduct virtual visits, dedicated pharmacists provide medication management support, and our Nurse Navigator connects patients to a long-term PCP for ongoing care. Benefits may include:
- Follow-up telehealth visits after inpatient or ED discharge
- Medication, lab, and referral management
- Nurse Navigator support to identify and connect with a permanent primary care provider
- Assistance with insurance or financial resources
- Linkage to local and community support services
- Reduced ED visits and hospital readmissions
- Access to preventive care, medications, and diagnostic testing
- Overall patient wellness and chronic disease management
