Bridge Scheduling Bridge supports real-time, self-scheduling for most EHR/PM systems and accommodates custom workflows and complex decision trees. Appointments that cannot be self-scheduled can be routed as appointment requests. Once an appointment is scheduled, appointment reminders can be sent automatically via email, SMS, IVR and/or push notification for appointments made both inside and outside of the portal, even for patients that haven’t registered for a portal account. Bridge Scheduling can be made available directly on a company’s website, through Bridge’s patient portal, or in Bridge’s client-branded mobile app. Bridge Telehealth Bride’s telehealth solution leverages Zoom® for Healthcare and enables organizations to seamlessly connect telehealth into their visit workflow. It also integrates with existing modules like Bridge Intake and Bridge Scheduling to help providers develop automated, custom telehealth workflows across the entire care journey for greater efficiency.

The product can be accessed throughout Bridge's patient engagement platform, which includes their patient portal and native mobile app, or via an SMS invitation sent to the patient prior to the visit. Bridge Intake uses a bidirectional interface to send and receive information, potentially from multiple EHRs and PM systems, and exports data to discrete data fields in the EHR/PM systems.
