The specialty door

Bring this specialty closer to the teams that need it.

The care organization has the patient and the question. An independent specialist group brings the expertise. FabrixMed helps both sides use a configured workflow that keeps the request, review, documented next step, and ownership visible.

Seriously ill patients need palliative expertise for symptom control and goals-of-care, but palliative teams are understaffed, leading to prolonged suffering, prolonged stays, and late hospice referrals. FabrixMed helps treating teams send structured consult requests and clinical context to the right specialist through ConsultBridge.

Why Palliative Care Access Breaks Down

Palliative care decisions often need specialist judgment, but that expertise is not always available where the patient presents.

  • Symptom crises managed without palliative input.
  • Goals-of-care conversations delayed or avoided.
  • SNF and hospital patients lack palliative follow-up.
  • Late hospice referral drives cost and patient dissatisfaction.

The missing layer is a structured way to ask the right question, send the right context, and document the next step.

ConsultBridge

ConsultBridge for Palliative Care

Use ConsultBridge when a treating clinician needs provider-to-provider palliative care input before deciding whether to manage locally, escalate, transfer, refer, or arrange follow-up. FabrixMed can support:

  • Inpatient palliative consults: Virtual support for pain, dyspnea, and complex symptom management.
  • Goals-of-care facilitation: Specialist-led conversations with documentation support.
  • SNF & home-based palliative: Follow-up for seriously ill residents and home patients.

Example Workflows

The SNF / ALF / LTC team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for Goals-of-care facilitation. The specialist reviews the case through the configured FabrixMed workflow and returns recommendations or documented results for the local team to act on.

Hospital System Palliative Care Question

The Hospital System team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for SNF & home-based palliative. The specialist reviews the case through the configured FabrixMed workflow and returns recommendations or documented results for the local team to act on.

Value for Organizations

Deploy structured workflows that bring specialty judgment to the point of care, with documentation, triage rules, and metrics you can report on.

Improve quality of life metrics: Earlier palliative input improves symptom control.
Support appropriate care transitions: Timely goals-of-care conversations reduce non-beneficial utilization.
Extend palliative capacity: Virtual consults without hiring full-time palliativeists at every site.

Value for Palliative Care Provider Groups

FabrixMed routes consult and interpretation work to independent groups that contract directly with facilities, without requiring them to build their own software.

Hospital and hospice consult partnerships.
Goals-of-care program contracts.

Safety Boundary

FabrixMed supports routing, capture, documentation, specialist review, and care coordination for palliative care. It does not replace emergency evaluation, bedside assessment, facility protocols, credentialing, prescribing responsibility, or the treating clinician's judgment.
