Feb 28, 2022 · Share with your patients the siloed EHR data they’ve always wanted to access. Bridge’s advanced interface capabilities opens up new opportunities for patient engagement. Seamlessly integrate your organization's existing source systems - including one or multiple EHR, PM, and RCM solutions.
Bridge is a 2015 certified patient portal; therefore, healthcare organizations can use Bridge to attest to Medicare and Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Programs (Meaningful Use). Bridge also aids healthcare organizations in providing patients electronic access to their health information, which is a requirement for MACRA/MIPS.
In the case of Bridge Patient Portal, this is typically Bridge Patient Portal connecting to a healthcare organization’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) or Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) software. Bridge’s API can also be used to connect websites, apps, etc. to Bridge Patient Portal. Bridge is an EHR vendor-neutral patient engagement software vendor.
The patient (or the patient-authorized representative) is provided timely access to view online, download, and transmit his or her health information. Access to the health information must be provided by both a portal and via an API.
It is Bridge’s interpretation that a ONC-certified EHR / EHR modular solution is required to provide FHIR-ready API access to the healthcare organization. The healthcare organization should make it easy for patients to access their patient information via a portal and their own or recommended smartphone app. This would typically be an app provided by the certified EHR vendor or one provided by the healthcare organization using the EHR vendor-provided API. There is a clear responsibility that is put on the EHR/Portal vendor and/or mobile app developer to follow the guidelines set forth in the final rule, as well as other regulations set by the FDC and HIPAA for example. In any case, API and smartphone access supporting the USCDI data set should be provided to patients by the healthcare organization in collaboration with health IT vendors.
API functionality must be fully enabled such that any application chosen by a patient would allow them to gain access to their individual health information, provided the application is configured to meet the technical specifications of the API.
What’s an API? An Application Programming Interface (API) is a computing interface to a software component or a system, that defines how other components or systems can use it¹. It defines the kinds of calls or requests that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc.
Bridge provides an opportunity for health organizations to increase patient engagement, promote loyalty, better manage costs, and increase workflow efficiencies. Bridge is more than just a patient portal; it is, in fact, a comprehensive patient engagement solution.
Turn traditional, complicated treatment plans into accessible, hands-on programs for your patients using our Care Plan feature. Bridge lets you take a complex care plan and create a task list that’s simple enough for any patient to understand. Common tasks may be related to medication compliance, diet, activity, vitals tracking, and more – and they can be assigned with custom timing and frequency that meets the patient’s needs.
Bridge provides healthcare organizations with the indsutry’s fastest way to publish an iOS and Android mobile app, which is branded to the healthcare organization. Bridge uses the latest coding technologies which gives patients a single patient engagement and portal solution which is accessible via their PC/laptop as a web application, on the mobile phone’s web browser and as a downloadable app from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. One codebase, one login, one intuitive patient experience. All of the features a patient would find in our web-based portal are also found in the app. This client-branded, all-in-one approach is commonly referred to in the healthcare industry as a Digital Front Door.
Bridge helps you automate the appointment scheduling process by letting patients book appointments at their own convenience. The appointment request platform is simple for patients to use, and lets them select their doctor and preferred visit time from a list of available appointment slots. Our self-scheduling enterprise patient portal allows you to implement an automated workflow that asks the questions you need answered before confirming an appointment, including prompting patients to fill out forms.
Patients can choose to receive reminders via email, SMS, or both, at your preferred time interval (either 12 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours before the appointment). You can also send patients custom reminders for special appointments, such as a reminder to fast the morning of a lab test.
Our admin dashboard for practice or hospital admin staff helps your healthcare business handle thousands of patient requests in a day. Your staff will be able to conveniently manage, delegate, and complete incoming patient requests – including billing, appointment requests, prescription refills, and more.
Forms can be sent to your EHR via a bidirectional interface.
Bridge Patient Portal allows EHRs the ability to partner with our 2015 ONC Certified patient portal solution to meet ONC certification requirements. In return, our partners can focus the bulk of their development efforts on their core product offering and leave the patient portal to us.
Bridge API allows healthcare organizations to connect their portal with other third-party software systems or mobile apps – including EMR/EHR software, practice management systems, billing software, apps for patient use, reporting or analytics tools, and more.
Are actions that take place in the provider portal reflected in the source EHR/PM/RCM system? Yes. Bridge can interface with any Electronic Health Record (EHR), Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), or Practice Management (PM) software system, even more than one simultaneously. Information can be pulled from the provider portal into ...
Department of Health and Human Services. This certification does not represent an en dorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.
Just as consumers use online tools to book restaurant reservations, pay their bills, or request a cab, patients want the same experience when making an appointment with their healthcare providers.
With Bridge’s robust patient scheduling system, healthcare organizations can tailor the scheduling workflow to their needs. Some of the supported customizations include:
With Bridge’s patient engagement software, users can schedule patient appointments in real-time from any mobile device. They also have the ability to manage and view old appointment data. If a patient is a caregiver of a dependent they also have the ability to schedule appointments on behalf of their dependents from their mobile device.
Many of today’s industry-leading patient self-scheduling software solutions were built to handle the scheduling of routine office visits.
With this patient scheduling software, Bridge supports real-time, self-scheduling, and reminders for many industry-leading EHR/PM systems. Clients also have the ability to repurpose the developed scheduling interface for solutions out of the patient scheduling portal, such as a website-interfaced appointment scheduler.
