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.

Connecting patients to high-quality, behavioral health care

Bridge Clinic provides a transformative process for health systems, their teams, and the patients they serve.

Increased Behavioral Health Access

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.

Integrated System Workflow

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.

Build a Financially Sustainable Model

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. 

Outcomes Oriented Programming
