Product Capabilities

Providers can push video link to the patient at any time during a chat encounter.

Multi-modal platform that can be used to manage lower acuity cases so the health system can focus on those patients with higher acuity needs. Can increase provider access and minimize waiting room times.

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.

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:

Health Equity

We are committed to making our platform accessible and easy to use for as many users as possible. We not only strictly adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) principles of accessibility, which are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, but we also place a strong emphasis on the 'understandable' principle. This involves ensuring that our text content is readable and comprehensible for users of different ages and abilities. While the WCAG guidelines do not specify a requirement for a 4th-grade reading level, we are open to exploring ways we can improve readability, such as simplifying language or providing easy-to-understand explanations of complex terms. We also incorporate accessibility (A11y) compliance into our development and quality assurance processes, and we conduct audits annually to ensure our platform remains accessible. We strive to serve the largest segments of the population effectively, and we are open to discussions on how we can further improve the accessibility and understandability of our platform

CirrusMD offers one simple user interface that provides on demand multimodal and multimedia functionality which allows both members and physicians to securely chat, switch to video, upload photos, documents, test results, images and exchange referral recommendations during encounters. Additionally, patients, doctors and health coaches can reconnect via scheduled outreach and follow-up initiated by the patient, doctor or health coach to check progress and answer questions.

Real time Spanish to English and English to Spanish translation. We offer Real-Time Language translation : https://www.cirrusmd.com/real-time-language-translation-for-virtual-healthcare. For non-English speaking members and the hearing impaired, we have developed workflows for members that request American Sign Language interpretation. All of the services offered by the CirrusMD Provider Network are supported in 252 languages through a combination of multilingual physicians and free medical interpretation and translation across all of our modalities.

As CirrusMD operates a real-time, asynchronous chat-first platform, we are able to remove the barriers one often sees with traditional care - access, time, timing, and cost. If one is able to text from their smart device, they can reach our providers anytime, anywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In addition, we have taken steps to ensure that persons with limited English proficiency have meaningful access and an equal opportunity to participate in our services, activities, programs and other benefits with our translation services. We offer Real-Time Language translation as well. CirrusMD offers this feature today with bi-directional Spanish to English, and English to Spanish real-time translation; with plans to add different languages going forward. In addition to the chat text, patient navigation and field names are fully translated, and progress notes documenting a patient's clinical status appear in both languages. We have also developed workflows for members that request American Sign Language interpretation. CirrusMD is proud of its DE&I initiatives around language support and leads the industry with Real-Time Language translation.
