A Behavioral Health Integration model backed by clinical and operational expertise to solve ambulatory care at scale and deliver long-term clinical and financial outcomes for hospitals and health systems.
Expanding access for those who need it most
The Challenge
Between provider shortages, increased demand for behavioral health treatment, and social determinants of health, helping patients get the right care, integrated care at the right time isn’t always easy.
Our Solution
Our Bridge Clinic leverages a cross-functional care team of therapists, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners to ensure the patients who need care first get care first – while being efficiently directed to an appropriate care plan. This program fully integrates into your health system to deliver a seamless experience for your care team and achieve measurement-based outcomes for your organization.
How it works
Our Bridge Clinic ensures patients who need help first, gets seen first. Patients receive the appropriate care plan for their needs and are supported throughout their transition to the next setting in their journey.
Connecting patients to high-quality, behavioral health care
Bridge Clinic provides a transformative process for health systems, their teams, and the patients they serve.
Regardless of a patients diagnosis, integrating behavioral health care into their care journeys helps drive better care, reduces overall wait times, optimizes referral management, and helps avoid ED over-utilization.
We provide a best-practice configuration playbook that optimizes your EMR for clinical prioritization, ensures frictionless care delivery, and delivers integrated quality management – driving program efficiencies across your health system.
Reduce leakage and perform a billable intake assessment for all patients that optimizes utilization of psychiatry and psychotherapy, ensuring financial sustainability for your health system.
