Bergen New Bridge Medical Center has combined with Dimer Health to launch a transitionist partnership program intended to improve patient outcomes, reduce avoidable readmissions, and close care gaps intensified by food insecurity, and transportation and economic challenges.
Dimer Health is a virtual medical practice of licensed clinicians specializing in transitional care medicine and post-discharge recovery. Dimer Health is supported by a proprietary AI-enabled platform that provides real-time clinical insights, symptom monitoring and direct patient engagement tools.
By combining human connection with leading-edge technology, the program introduces a new clinical role, the transitionist, who stays closely connected with patients following discharge.
“Exceptional care doesn’t end when a patient leaves our building,” said Deborah Visconi, President and CEO of Bergen New Bridge Medical Center. “Our new Transitionist program ensures our patients remain supported, informed, and connected during one of the most vulnerable periods in their care journey. This is a powerful step forward in our commitment to access, quality, and health equity.”
Caroline Hodge, co-founder and CEO of Dimer Health, added that transitional moments are those where too many patients “fall through the cracks. Our transitionist model was designed to change that by giving clinicians better tools, patients more continuous support, and health systems clearer visibility into what happens after discharge. Partnering with Bergen New Bridge allows us to advance our shared commitment to equity, access, and meaningful innovation in post-discharge care.”
Dimer Health partners with hospitals, health systems, providers, and payors in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas.
