Available as a standalone solution or as part of the BridgeInteract patient engagement suite, Bridge Intake represents the industry’s most comprehensive patient intake software to enhance patient scheduling, registration, check-in, payments, and consent form automation.
Intake Tailored To Your Practice
Unlike other patient intake solutions that follow a standard, one-size-fits-all formula, Bridge Intake empowers healthcare organizations to provide a tailored, seamless patient experience from the first touchpoint to check-in and beyond.
Custom forms:
Bridge Intake makes it easy to create custom forms for your unique requirements, such as details of parent/guardian for pediatric practices. By focusing on exactly what you need, you can capture the data that matters to you, cut down on clutter, and save admin time.
EHR agnostic:
Bridge Intake connects with your EHR system, pulling data from your existing records to pre-populate fields and allowing you to send forms on demand from your EHR interface. Data from the forms can be pushed back to your EHR database to update it and exported as PDF for easy viewing and printing.
