Work With Us

Readiness is built in ninety days, not in a binder.

Bereavement Ready works alongside hospital teams to turn a readiness score into a documented, functioning program that survives staff turnover. Fixed scope. Named deliverables. Investment scoped to your institution.

Start where you are

Four steps, and you can stop at any of them

Most facilities begin with the free assessment and the free review call. Nothing below requires the step above it, and the roadmap you leave with is yours whether or not you continue.

Readiness Review
30 minutes
No cost
No obligation
  • We walk your assessment results together
  • We name the two or three items worth moving first
  • We identify where this will meet resistance internally
  • You leave with a written summary either way
Book the call

Discuss an engagement
How investment is set

Investment reflects institutional size and scope, and is discussed in the first conversation rather than posted as a flat rate. Early engagements are intentionally limited in number and reduced in cost, because the implementation data they produce strengthens the framework for everyone who comes after.

The 90 days

What actually happens

01
Days 1 to 30. Assess and Prioritize.

Baseline assessment administered across the unit rather than one person's impression, so you learn where practice actually varies by shift. Findings return as a scored roadmap and a recorded walkthrough, so no stakeholder has to clear a half day to receive them. You receive the Leadership Priority Roadmap.

02
Days 31 to 60. Build.

Policy and protocol drafting against the framework and its five published evidence bases. Competency framework and training outline. Workflow and documentation mapping including handoff and EHR flag pathways. You receive the complete document set, yours to keep and modify.

03
Days 61 to 90. Deploy and Verify.

Champion enablement session so the work has a named internal owner. Two implementation check-in calls. Re-assessment at day 90 against the same 29 items. You receive the Readiness Movement Report showing baseline against day 90, in a format your quality committee can act on.

Getting it approved

From assessment to start date

Nothing here requires a committee meeting to begin. The sequence below is written so the person who wants this work can show it to the person who signs for it.

01
Baseline. Your assessment results.

If your unit has already completed the readiness assessment, forward the results email when you request an Intensive. There is no need to complete it again. If the assessment was taken anonymously and the results are no longer on hand, it takes fifteen minutes to run once more. Nothing proceeds without a baseline score, because the roadmap is built from it.

02
Your budget case, written for you.

Within two business days you receive a fixed-fee quote and a one-page business case naming your score, your three priority gaps, and the cost comparison in the language budget holders use. You forward it. You do not have to write it.

03
Internal approval.

Most Intensives are approved by a nurse director or CNO within an existing education or quality budget. Larger engagements route through supply chain or contracting. Commonly requested documents are supplied on request: W-9, certificate of insurance, signed statement of work, confidentiality agreement, and a sole-source justification letter where competitive bidding applies. Tell us which your facility needs and they are sent the same day.

04
Start.

Work begins when the signed statement of work is returned, with a purchase order number where your facility issues one. Invoicing references that number, payment terms are net 30, and no patient-identifiable information is requested or handled at any point. Delivery follows within five business days.

Boundaries

What is not included

Named plainly, because scope drift helps nobody and clarity is what keeps an engagement on budget.

Out of scope
  • Direct patient or family care
  • Staff counseling or clinical debriefing services
  • Product, device, or vendor recommendations of any kind
  • EHR build or IT configuration
  • Grant writing on the facility's behalf
  • Support past day 90, which is a separate agreement
What we will never say

Bereavement Ready does not certify, designate, accredit, or approve any facility. No engagement, at any fee, results in a claim that your hospital is certified or designated. What you receive is a documented readiness position, a built program, and evidence of movement. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something we are not.

If a formal recognition program emerges at state or national level, the work you do here is built to be forward-compatible with it. That is a design commitment, not a promise about a program we do not control.

On the investment

How to think about the cost

Published nursing workforce research places the cost of replacing a single bedside nurse at $40-$60K. A 90-Day Engagement is priced well under that figure, and bereavement-related moral distress is a documented contributor to turnover in labor, delivery, and neonatal units.

There is no hourly billing, no scope-based escalation, and no travel invoicing on remote engagements. If your facility's budget does not reach a full engagement, the Prioritization Intensive stands alone and produces a roadmap you can run yourselves. Bring your constraints to the first conversation and we will scope to them.
