Bridge Patient Portal Client Westmed Wins eHealthcare Leadership Award for Best Patient Access & ConvenienceDALLAS, Jan. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridge Patient Portal, a healthcare patient portal and patient engagement software vendor, is announcing that their client Westmed Medical Group, a large New York-based multi-specialty group medical practice, has been presented with an eHealthcare Leadership Award for Best Patient Access & Convenience in a Medical Practice/Outpatient Facility. This award recognizes web and mobile solutions that are both comprehensive and easy to use/access. Westmed is known nationally as a highly innovative healthcare organization that leverages technology to deliver a premium level of patient care.

It is even less common for both solutions to be branded to the healthcare organization." The Bridge patient engagement solution works and interfaces with most Electronic Health Record and Revenue Cycle Management softwares. In the case of Westmed, Bridge integrated with the Centricity Business and EMR solutions that Westmed was already using. The patient portal mobile app also offers additional features commonly found in healthcare mobile apps, such as provider search, location search, urgent care wait times, and news. Convenience is further boosted by self-service portal registration and username/password resets, thanks to Bridge's two-factor, SMS-based authentication feature. The rich patient portal functionality found in the mobile app significantly increases the solution's usae as a whole, which is only made possible by offering all of self-service patient portal functionality in a single mobile app. The Bridge patient engagement solution does far more than put medical records online for patients - it offers a wealth of features, including:
