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.

See how it worksThe 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.
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 the workflow provides
- Structured clinical intake and consult questions

- Facility onboarding, credentialing coordination support, and MSO-style operations
- Outcome and turnaround metrics for operational reporting
Value measures you can impact
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.
