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 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.

The experience for patients on the phone is far from optimal. Patients experience: 

1. Long hold times
2. 3-4 transfers to get to the correct destination
3. Broken extensions
4. Full or malfunctioning voice mailboxes
5. Lack of resolution of their needs.

On average, one third of incoming phone callers abandon the call before they get help and 60% of incoming phone calls to your hospital are unresolved. This requires multiple phone calls from patients to get their needs met and to transact business, which exacerbates your phone call volume problems.

The Patient Assistant for Hospitals allows you to solve your patient experience problems on the phone easily and at a fraction of the cost of a human operator. The Patient Assistant allows callers to use natural language to navigate your telephony system and intelligently routes them to the correct destination more often than a human. With the Patient Assistant: 

1. Call abandonment is markedly reduced
2. Hold times shrink considerably
3. Callers are transferred on average one time during a call rather than 3-4 times
4. First call resolution rises considerably
5. Daily call volume handled by humans operators is reduced 50%
6. Patients have a much more consistent brand experience
7. And with EHR integration, automated transactions like scheduling functions, prescription refill, bill pay, and medical records requests become possible.

Syllable is a leading provider of healthcare contact center and medical practice automation solutions using conversational AI. 

Syllable's product, the Patient Assistant, is used by both hospitals and practices to intelligently route calls more efficiently and provide for automated transactions like appointment scheduling and prescription refill on the phone.

The Patient Assistant also provides rich insights into the end to end call journey for your patients. Current call center metrics are too focused on the micro engagement at the call center and fail to provide the full extent of operational difficulties patients experience on the phone. 

Syllable is used by health systems such as NewYork-Presbyterian, Houston Methodist, Parkview Health, Memorial Care and Honor Health to improve patient experience, enhance access and reduce the cost of delivering healthcare on the phone.

With 88% of patients engaging with hospitals and providers over the phone, why invest millions on your digital front door. Engage patients where they are, on the phone, with Syllable. We automate 50% of incoming phone volume on day one at the fraction of the cost of a human call center agent.
