Bridgit is a supercharged, tele-social work platform that bridges the gap in off-hours coverage, reduces emergency department discharge delays, and empowers providers
The Problem
Growing Social Worker Need, Limited Resources.
Hospital emergency departments run 24/7,
but their social workers do not.
As a result, emergency departments delay discharging patients.
These delays:
Impact patient care.
Impacts provider satisfaction.
Cost hospitals $18,000 per bed per day*
Cost NY $126 million wasted in Spring of 2023 alone
Social Workers are at a Breaking Point
They feel underpaid and spread too thin.
They face workplace violence and risk of infection.
They spend hours coordinating care.
The Social worker shortage is expected to worsen
The Solution
Bridgit - 24/7 Seamless Patient Care
Imagine if, instead of holding patients all night or all weekend, nurses were empowered to connect patients with a social worker any time.
For Emergency Departments
Bridgit is a 24/7 virtual social worker who can get your patients where they need to go and allow emergency departments to discharge patients on nights and weekends.
For Downstream Providers
Bridgit reduces the hours wasted on administrative coordination and can help build stronger, more efficient relationships between health systems and patients.
For Social Workers
Bridgit offers social workers higher pay, work-from-home flexibility, and a tool to save them hours on the phone.
For Patients
Ultimately, it is all about the patient. Bridgit understands the importance of accessing the right care when they need it most.
Bridgit is a centralized healthcare solution that delivers innovation at scale, in what will be a new model of care. We connect care upstream and downstream of the emergency department.
Whether it concerns patient care, provider empowerment, or social worker advocacy, Bridgit is not only sustainable, but necessary.
