Bridge’s suite of products include: Bridge Portal The comprehensive patient portal is the company’s core product and offers secure patient-provider messaging, medical records access, lab results, prescription refill requests,, portal self-registration, two factor authentication, appointment requests and reminders, patient forms, broadcast messaging, proxy accounts, and patient education.

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. Bridge Mobile Healthcare organizations can publish their own, branded iOS/Android mobile app using the same user interface as the Bridge Portal web application, giving patients a unified web/mobile experience. The mobile app offers all the same functionality as the web application, including patient medical records, appointment scheduling, messaging, lab results, patient education, bill pay, and more. Bridge Intake A next-generation patient intake and check-in solution to conveniently capture all the important patient intake information in a single step. 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.

Similar to a support ticket system, Bridge Tasking is a perfect way to increase business efficiency and offer patients a better experience. Bridge Interface Interface with one or more EHR, PM, RCM, LIS and RIS systems with Bridge’s robust interface engine, Bridge Interface supports all the most popular interface technologies, including FHIR, HL7, REST API, XML, CSV and SFTP-based file interfaces.
