Bridge Patient Portal custom patient self-scheduling & ASMS

Medical Web Experts’ sister company Bridge Patient Portal recently released a fully-integrated custom patient self-scheduling software solution that allows patients to schedule their own appointments. Not only does this give patients the flexibility and convenience that they expect from businesses today, it also helps practices improve office efficiency and save on the costs of separate and expensive self-scheduling solutions.

Bridge is the first patient portal to offer advanced self-scheduling features. Bridge is an all-in-one patient engagement solution, with a number of features that help improve care for both patients and providers. Using Bridge, patients can access their health records, request prescription refills, pay bills online, securely message their providers, and perform many other tasks that traditionally consume time and resources at the front desk.

In the event of extremely complex self-scheduling scenarios and decision trees, the portal is able to support these through custom self-scheduling forms in the portal, in its Android or iOS mobile app, within the Universe mHealth App Platform, or publicly on the client’s website.

Bridge’s self-scheduling software was recently adopted by Advanced Sleep Medicine Services, a sleep medicine clinic with more than twenty locations across Southern California. Advanced Sleep Medicine Services found scheduling patients for their appointments to be labor-intensive. Bridge’s self-scheduling solution was able to handle the complicated scheduling situations that are often associated with sleep studies.

“It has been a pleasure working with Bridge Patient Portal,” said Kermit Newman, Founder of Advanced Sleep Medicine Services. “They have helped us take a very complex scheduling process and simplify it, for the convenience and efficiency of both our patients and our scheduling staff.”

In the event that a completely custom patient engagement solution is required, Medical Web Experts specializes in the development of custom workflows and add-ons to any practice management scheduling system. Learn more about our custom patient self-scheduling solutions.
