Product Capabilities

Bright.md is accessed via SSO with EHR portal credentials. Patient interviews are available on-demand from a mobile or desktop with just a 3G connection, in English and Spanish.

Bright.md provides an asynchronous virtual care solution in which a patient completes an online symptom assessment, which is reviewed by a provider who recommends a treatment plan and diagnosis. Data required for treatment is collected via a series of clinical interview questions that the patient provides answers to via multiple choice, open text, or by uploading a photo relative to their concern. Allergies, medications, and problem list for the patient is brought in from the EHR and made visible to the provider who is providing treatment.

Bright.md translates the patient interview into a chart-ready SOAP note and makes it readily available via MDM interface for integration as an encounter in the EHR. Bright.md presents all necessary information for the provider to confirm the diagnosis, change the diagnosis, or escalate the patient to a higher modality of care if they feel that treatment cannot be provided asynchronously.

Technical support is provided to our health system customers directly. We offer 24/7 support for our provider users and program administrator users.

Bright.md is staffed by health system providers, typically using a centralized care team that manages virtual visits. We can support multiple provider pools that may specialize in certain types of conditions, so patients awaiting treatment are segmented by condition.

Bright.md provides in-depth reporting to our customers to measure their utilization and success over time. Specific reporting metrics include: Provider efficiency Interview utilization Common diagnoses Patient satisfaction and feedback Prescription volumes Escalation rates

Bright.md provides the software solution for health systems to treat 130+ diagnoses virtually, without the use of video (asynchronous telehealth). Patients complete an on-demand interview at any time that captures a thorough symptom assessment while ruling out potentially emergent conditions, just like a face-to-face visit with a clinician. Patients receive questions based on their answers, and if an emergent condition is suspected, the patient is escalated out, with recommended next steps configured by your system. Clinical decision support provides a recommended diagnosis and treatment plan derived from evidence-based guidelines, along with a SOAP formatted chart-note logged as an encounter in your EHR—allowing providers efficiency while preserving autonomy and clinical judgment. Once the provider completes the asynchronous visits, the patient receives a complete after visit summary with treatment instructions and education, along with any prescriptions sent electronically to their preferred pharmacy.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Our content is evidence-based and updated regularly based on the latest clinical guidelines. It is developed, constantly evaluated and updated based on user data and feedback, and maintained by a team of physicians, writers, and editors. Our Interview is available in English or Spanish with medically-certified translation, and all of our content is created at a 4th-grade reading level, removing medical jargon and using images as easy guides. 

Because we've been building and refining our clinical content for more than eight years, improving with reviews and feedback from clinician leaders at some of the top health systems in the country, we've built a clinical content engine that cannot be replicated.

One of the Lead Clinicians at one client shared that he reviewed all of our content in detail and was "extremely impressed", sharing that it would "take thousands of hours of clinician time to even attempt".

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Robust, Proprietary Clinical Content

With Bright.md, your providers are reviewers of content, not creators. Our evidence-based content containing 29 unique interviews, and treating 130+ diagnoses, is developed and maintained by a team of board-certified physicians to keep yours focused on delivering care to patients.  

Self-Service Administration

Respond quickly to changing demands with real-time access to custom care routing, interview activation, and more.

Bi-directional EHR Integration

Drive long-term care delivery efficiencies with asynchronous visits that are integrated into your clinical operations workflow.

Bright.md uses standard HL7 protocols and FHIR APIs to sync information that decreases the administrative burden on providers, while creating easy access for patients. 

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
  • Online Scheduling – new patients can book appointments from your website without setting up an EHR patient portal account
  • Referral Management – website portal for receiving referrals, customized workflow, automated alerts when referrals need attention
  • Patient Communications – automated text/email messages sent to patients triggered at specific steps in the consult or referral journey
  • Provider Communications – automated consult and referral status updates sent to sending providers to close the loop between PCPs and specialists
  • Fax Management – manage all inbound faxes and push faxed referrals into the referral workflow, ability to split faxes into multiple documents
  • Marketing CRM – physician liaisons can document outreach and compare outreach activity with referral volume from their partners
  • Market Research – over 7 million providers pre-loaded which allows you to identify new potential referral partners in your target markets
  • Referral Analytics – comprehensive suite of analytics to report on all your referral metrics (trends, volume, leakage, service levels, outreach, etc.)

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Differentiator 1: All-In-One Platform

  • Some vendors offer patient access, referral management, e-consults or CRMs. Our cloud-based platform offers them all plus the following features.
  • Real-time analytics across the platform
  • Automated workflow and decision support tools
  • Automated feedback loop with referring providers
  • Automated patient communications via text or email
  • Integrated fax management system (port over existing fax numbers)
  • Integrated Customer/Partner Relationship Management (CRM/PRM)
  • Marketing research tools based on a directory of over 7 million providers

Differentiator 2: Rapid Integration Capabilities

  • Our integration engine allows our Integrations Team to quickly deploy system interfaces using APIs, FHIR, HL7, Direct, etc. which is important when implementing the platform for health systems, ACOs and CINs with many EHRs, data warehouses and other third-party systems across their networks.  
  • In addition, we comply with the third-party system’s specifications rather than asking the vendor to follow our requirements which streamlines the integration process and reduces cost for the client. 

Differentiator 3: All Healthcare Referrals Supported

  • The system is highly configurable and can support all healthcare referral types such as medical, specialty care, therapy, imaging, dental, behavioral health, hospice, home care, etc.  
  • The customization in the system allows clients to define their own workflows, referral forms, patient communication templates, and other settings that can be standardized across the organization.
