ConsultBridge

ConsultBridge by FabrixMed

Provider-to-specialist consults for every qualified treating clinician

ConsultBridge allows treating providers across care settings to route structured clinical questions to specialists for review, recommendations, and care coordination.

Not emergency telemedicine. Not a staffing firm. Structured specialty access for any care setting.

Start with the care moment

A clearer door to the next expert.

When your team needs a specialist who is not down the hall, ConsultBridge creates a structured door to the right expertise. Your clinician asks the question, the independent specialist reviews the relevant information, and your team receives a documented next step it can act on.

The core thesis

ConsultBridge routes structured clinical questions, diagnostic data, images, labs, and care context to the right specialist - regardless of geography or care setting.

ConsultBridge is not only for EDs, microhospitals, or urgent care. Any qualified treating provider who needs specialist input can use the configured care workflow.


Who can request specialist input

The requesting clinician may be any qualified treating provider in the workflow - not only emergency medicine.

Primary care physician Nurse practitioner Physician assistant Hospitalist ER physician Urgent care clinician SNF / LTC medical director Correctional facility clinician Home health-affiliated provider ACO / CIN care team physician Microhospital clinician Rural clinic provider

How ConsultBridge can help in your setting

The right value story depends on where care is delivered. ConsultBridge helps teams get the specialist input they need, keep appropriate patients in the right setting, and document what happens next. These are outcomes your organization can track.


Your setting How ConsultBridge can help What you can track
Emergency departments and urgent care Get a documented specialist perspective sooner when disposition is uncertain. Time from request to specialist input; avoidable transfers; ED length of stay and boarding
Skilled nursing and long-term care Get specialty input before sending a resident to the emergency department when remote review is clinically appropriate. On-site review before ED escalation; hospital transfers; complete consult documentation
Rural and community health centers Extend access to specialists without asking patients to travel for every question. Referral wait time; time to specialist review; cases managed locally
Microhospitals and small hospitals Give local teams a structured way to involve specialists while keeping appropriate care close to home. Transfers; time to specialist review; routing efficiency
Correctional health Get specialist input without moving a patient off site when remote review is clinically appropriate. Off-site transfers; time to specialist input; documented disposition
Primary care and FQHCs Move questions beyond routine care into a structured specialist workflow. Referral wait time; consult completeness; follow-up decisions
ACOs, CINs, and hospitalist teams Carry specialist input and next steps across sites, handoffs, and transitions of care. Consult turnaround; follow-up completion; documented handoffs

These are measurement areas, not guaranteed outcomes. Results depend on the service line, specialist coverage, workflow design, and baseline performance. CareScreen helps teams identify patients who need screening and follow-up; ConsultBridge starts when a treating clinician has a specific question for a specialist. They can be used together, but each solves a different workflow problem.   Also See CareScreen

Four modes - not one-size-fits-all telemedicine

ConsultBridge is not “emergency telemedicine.” It supports multiple workflow modes selected by clinical need.


Urgent triage

Time-sensitive specialist input when disposition or escalation decisions cannot wait.

  • Burn care triage
  • Ophthalmology ER triage
  • Dermatology severe rash
  • Cardiology ECG / chest pain triage

Specialist consult

Structured provider-to-provider consults when clinical questions exceed routine pathways.

  • Endocrinology medication complexity
  • Infectious disease stewardship
  • Neurology review
  • Rheumatology lab / workup questions

Async interpretation

Store-and-forward review of diagnostic data captured at the point of care.

  • Ophthalmology imaging
  • Dermatology photos
  • Wound care images
  • Cardiology ECG

Care coordination

Follow-up, escalation, and handoff workflows across sites and settings.

  • Post-discharge follow-up
  • SNF / LTC escalation
  • Correctional transport avoidance
  • ACO / CIN gap closure

Example: endocrinology on ConsultBridge

ConsultBridge routes diabetes medication complexity, glucose-pattern concerns, endocrine lab questions, and specialty escalation decisions to endocrinology providers.

ConsultBridge helps treating clinicians access endocrinology expertise when diabetes, thyroid, metabolic, or medication decisions exceed routine care pathways.

What ConsultBridge is not

  • Not direct-to-patient consumer telehealth
  • Not a clinical staffing or locums replacement firm
  • Not limited to emergency departments or acute care
  • Not a generic video visit without structured intake, routing, or documentation
  • Not CareScreen (structured screening programs - ConsultBridge handles provider-to-specialist consult when escalation is needed)

What the workflow provides

  • Structured clinical intake and consult questions
  • Routing to the right specialist or provider group
  • Diagnostic data, images, labs, and device feeds in workflow
  • Synchronous and asynchronous consult modes
  • Timestamped, auditable documentation
  • Facility onboarding, credentialing coordination support, and MSO-style operations
  • Outcome and turnaround metrics for operational reporting

Value measures you can impact


Time to specialist review Avoidable transfers and escalations Consult documentation completeness Specialist utilization and routing efficiency ED boarding and length of stay (where applicable) Referral wait time reduction Care gap closure rate Cost per specialty encounter

Operational & financial ROI


Faster specialist input

Structured routing reduces phone-tag, fax delays, and ad hoc referral friction.

Fewer avoidable transfers

Documented specialist recommendations support treat-locally decisions across settings - not only the ED.

Expand specialty access without fixed headcount

Primary care, SNFs, correctional, and rural sites gain specialty reach through infrastructure.

Stronger documentation and defensibility

Auditable consult workflows support quality, compliance, and care coordination reporting.

Reduce provider burnout friction

Treating clinicians get answers without building internal telehealth stacks or chasing referrals.
