Five-minute facility self-check

Is your physician-coverage model operational—or only scheduled?

Answer five broad operating questions. BridgeCare records only that the check was completed and the number of unclear areas—never facility names, patient information, or individual answers.

No patient information. Use this check for facility-level workflow only. Do not enter or share resident details.

How to use it

Choose the answer your team could give today.

“Clear” means the owner, pathway, and fallback are understood. “Unclear” identifies a coverage-design conversation—not a compliance finding.

1 Who owns routine and after-hours physician coverage?

The team can identify the responsible clinician, coverage window, contact route, and fallback.

2 What change in condition should trigger a physician call?

Nursing has a usable escalation standard rather than relying on individual interpretation.

3 What information must travel with an escalation?

The call or message includes enough structured context for the physician to make the next decision.

4 Who closes the loop after a hospital return?

Medication changes, pending tests, consultant follow-up, and unresolved risks have named owners.

5 Which recurring problems become QAPI work?

Patterns move from discussion to a defined action, owner, due date, and follow-up checkpoint.

Nothing is submitted to BridgeCare except the aggregate result category.
