For independent specialist groups
Hospital and home health pulmonology relationships.
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.
Respiratory conditions drive ED visits and readmissions, but pulmonology coverage is uneven, especially for COPD exacerbations, ventilator weaning, and complex inpatient cases. FabrixMed helps treating teams send structured consult requests and clinical context to the right specialist through ConsultBridge.
Why Pulmonology Access Breaks Down
Pulmonology decisions often need specialist judgment, but that expertise is not always available where the patient presents.
- COPD exacerbations lack timely pulmonology input.
- Ventilator and BiPAP decisions made without specialist review.
- Home health respiratory patients lack pulmonology follow-up.
- Readmission risk high without specialist care plans.
The missing layer is a structured way to ask the right question, send the right context, and document the next step.
ConsultBridge
ConsultBridge for Pulmonology
Use ConsultBridge when a treating clinician needs provider-to-provider pulmonology input before deciding whether to manage locally, escalate, transfer, refer, or arrange follow-up. FabrixMed can support:
- Inpatient pulmonology consults: Remote support for respiratory failure and vent management.
- COPD & asthma programs: Virtual follow-up for high-risk respiratory patients.
- Home health respiratory support: Pulmonology input for oxygen and therapy plans.
Pulmonology Workflow
Respiratory concern identified in acute or post-acute setting.
PFTs, imaging, and vent settings documented.
Pulmonologist consults synchronously or asynchronously.
Care plan returned to local team.
Follow-up and pulmonary rehab coordinated.
What Teams Can Send or Capture
- Respiratory symptoms and severity.
- Oxygen saturation and oxygen requirement.
- COPD, asthma, or sleep history.
- Chest imaging or PFT summary when available.
- Current respiratory medications.
- Specific escalation or follow-up question.
Example Workflows
Emergency Department Pulmonology Question
The Emergency Department team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for Inpatient pulmonology consults. The specialist reviews the case through the configured FabrixMed workflow and returns recommendations or documented results for the local team to act on.
Microhospital Pulmonology Question
The Microhospital team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for COPD & asthma programs. The specialist reviews the case through the configured FabrixMed workflow and returns recommendations or documented results for the local team to act on.
SNF / ALF / LTC Pulmonology Question
The SNF / ALF / LTC team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for Home health respiratory support. 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.
Value for Pulmonology Provider Groups
FabrixMed routes consult and interpretation work to independent groups that contract directly with facilities, without requiring them to build their own software.
Safety Boundary
FabrixMed supports routing, capture, documentation, specialist review, and care coordination for pulmonology. It does not replace emergency evaluation, bedside assessment, facility protocols, credentialing, prescribing responsibility, or the treating clinician's judgment.
