ConsultBridge by FabrixMed
A provider-to-specialist consult fabric — 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.
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 ERs, microhospitals, or urgent care. Any qualified treating provider who needs specialist input can use the fabric.
Who can request specialist input
The requesting clinician may be any qualified treating provider in the workflow — not only emergency medicine.
Segment-specific ROI hooks
Lead with what matters to your care setting — then measure specialist turnaround, transfer avoidance, and consult completeness.
| Segment | Lead with | Example value measures |
|---|---|---|
| ED / urgent care | Disposition and boarding pressure | Time to specialist review, avoidable transfers, ED length of stay / boarding |
| SNF / LTC | Avoid unnecessary transfers | On-site review before ED escalation, hospital transfer rate, consult documentation completeness |
| Rural / CHC | Specialty access without travel | Referral wait time, time to specialist review, treat-locally rate |
| Microhospitals | Keep appropriate cases local | Transfer avoidance, specialist routing efficiency, time to review |
| Correctional facilities | Transport and security avoidance | Off-site transfer reduction, time to specialist input, documented disposition |
| Primary care / FQHC | Questions beyond routine pathways | Referral wait reduction, medication complexity routing, consult completeness |
| ACO / CIN / hospitalist | Network care coordination | Post-discharge follow-up completion, consult turnaround, documented handoffs |
CareScreen handles structured screening and gap-closure capture; ConsultBridge routes provider-to-specialist questions when clinical decisions need specialist input. Many programs deploy both. 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 fabric 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
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.
