Enhanced Patient Access and Revenue Suite Strengthens Bridge’s Unified Patient Engagement Platform to Eliminate Piecemealed Point Solutions and Deliver Market-Leading Automation

DALLAS, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bridge, a leader in white-labeled patient engagement technology, today introduced enhanced intake and payment automation capabilities designed to power the future of healthcare. The Patient Access and Revenue Suite, part of the BridgeInteract Patient Engagement Platform, removes critical friction points for patients and caregivers, improving clinic operations and patient satisfaction while enabling a shift in focus to ongoing, meaningful care.

Enhanced Suite Strengthens Unified Platform, Eliminates Piecemealed Point Solutions, and Delivers Leading Automation

Rooted in the company’s core philosophy of digital empathy, the Patient Access and Revenue Suite translates in-person compassion to the digital realm by removing common friction points that frustrate patients and lead them to abandon digital engagement. It transforms patient registration and payment from transactional barriers into a seamless experience, empowering healthcare organizations to shift from reactive, episodic encounters to proactive, ongoing patient relationships.

“Healthcare organizations are exhausted by the ‘technology soup’ of managing multiple, disconnected legacy vendors for intake, reminders, scheduling, and billing,” said John Deutsch, CEO of Bridge. “We believe technology should make healthcare more human, not less. The Patient Access and Revenue Suite removes the barriers that frustrate patients and the administrative weight that exhausts clinical teams, and it does so on rails that thousands of providers already trust every day.”

The Patient Access and Revenue Suite is designed to displace fragmented first-generation patient engagement point solutions, consolidating vendor license fees by up to 65%. In addition, it functions as an entry point to BridgeInteract’s comprehensive digital front door platform, connecting scheduling with intake, payments, patient portal access, virtual care, messaging, and task management as part of a unified patient experience.

The Suite features powerful enhancements to BridgeInteract’s core capabilities, including:

Enhanced Loginless Access – Patients can now access and complete registration forms via a secure mobile link without needing to create an account, remember a password, or download an app. Loginless intake is not a replacement for the standard portal-based workflow but an additional access mechanism for situations where frictionless entry improves completion rates.

Enhanced Discrete EHR Data Write-Back – Bridge has enhanced its already robust discrete EHR data write-back, pushing patient-submitted information directly into the corresponding fields in the EHR without manual transcription. This release expands the range of supported field mappings, improving coverage across more data types and EHR configurations.

Unified Intake & Billing Dashboard – Bridge’s operational dashboard has been redesigned with a more intuitive interface and improved visibility into patient status for staff. The dashboard surfaces priority items such as missing consents and insurance check results, along with the entire dashboard’s functionality – all within the EHR user interface.

Proactive SDoH & Screener Capture – Validated clinical screeners (like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7) and Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) questions are seamlessly embedded into the mobile check-in flow to close care gaps before the visit.

Bridge is also introducing revenue enhancements to boost time-of-service collections and eliminate downstream billing rework, including:

Frictionless Embedded Payments & Digital Wallets – Patients are presented with outstanding balances and copays during the mobile intake flow, allowing them to securely pay their medical bills before they even arrive at the clinic using modern, consumer-friendly options like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

OCR Insurance Card Capture & Real-Time Eligibility Verification – Instead of manual data entry, patients can simply take a photo of their insurance card, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) automatically extracts and populates the details. Automated background checks then verify insurance coverage and determine accurate copay amounts before the visit, reducing surprises and claim denials.

Text-to-Pay & Card On File – Practices can accelerate cash flow by sending automated outstanding balance notifications and secure payment links directly to patients via SMS text message. The platform also supports “Card On File” for quick payment approvals and recurring payments.

Proven Operational Efficiency – The underlying rails of Bridge’s technology deliver immediate, real-world efficiency; a recent case study with Health by Design demonstrated that automated SMS appointment confirmations alone saved clinic staff between 841 and 1,262 hours annually.

Together, these enhancements encourage stronger patient activation and care team partnership with seamless technology that doesn’t add clicks or decision points. They help improve medical margins, keep high-risk patients out of the ER, and ensure trust and collaboration.

By

The Knoxville area is emerging as a leader in advanced energy, high-performance computing, and research commercialization due to a rare combination of assets that distinguish this region from other metropolitan areas.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Knoxville Technology Council (KTech) has released its inaugural Technology State of the Union Report, an assessment of the Knoxville region’s technology economy and the forces shaping its future growth.

“Knoxville is uniquely positioned at the AI-energy convergence. We must work together to address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities, ensuring that we build the workforce and infrastructure that accelerates innovation and secures a successful future for our community.”

The report evaluates Knoxville’s tech ecosystem across three major areas: workforce and talent, technology investment, and entrepreneurial growth. It highlights a rare combination of assets that distinguish Knoxville from other metropolitan areas:

Culture of Innovation — World-class research institutions and a flagship research university that generate breakthroughs in emerging technologies and attract top talentEnergy Infrastructure — Home to one of the nation’s largest public power providers, clean energy innovation, and a growing advanced nuclear energy sectorEntrepreneurial Spirit — An energetic startup community with an established network of supporting organizationsQuality of Life — A lower cost of living, strong job market, family-friendly amenities, and abundant outdoor and cultural activities

Together, these advantages are fueling Knoxville’s economic growth, particularly in advanced energy, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing.

KTech Board Member, Travis Howerton, who led the initiative to release the report, said that East Tennessee has “all the raw ingredients we need to create a booming tech economy in the coming decades. At KTech, we want to be part of empowering our tech leaders to make Knoxville a premier tech hub in the U.S.”

The report draws from a survey of regional technology leaders along with economic data and research from leading organizations, including the East Tennessee Economic Council, Knoxville Chamber, Tennessee Valley Authority, Tennessee Advanced Energy Business Council, University of Tennessee, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

While it highlights where the region is gaining momentum, the report also identifies workforce readiness as the region’s primary constraint on growth. Other recommendations include expanding hands-on workforce development opportunities, strengthening research-to-commercialization pathways, improving broadband and digital infrastructure, and increasing access to growth-stage capital for startups.

“Knoxville is uniquely positioned at the AI-energy convergence. We must work together to address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities, ensuring that we build the workforce and infrastructure that accelerates innovation and secures a successful future for our community,” said KTech President, Matt Kittrell.

RHODE ISLAND LAWMAKERS PASS TEAMSTERS-SUPPORTED WAREHOUSE WORKER PROTECTION ACT

Governor Dan McKee’s Signature Expected Imminently

PROVIDENCE, R.I., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teamsters are celebrating the passage of S2504A/H7364A, the Rhode Island Warehouse Worker Protection Act, out of the General Assembly. The legislation will prevent companies like Amazon from abusing their workforce by regulating the use and disclosure of warehouse quotas.

“Amazon and other bad actors who make up the worst employers in our state have been wreaking havoc on workers’ livelihoods and physical well-being for far too long, but we’re putting a stop to in Rhode Island,” said Matt Taibi, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 251 in East Providence.

Gov. McKee has already said he will sign the bill into law. Rhode Island will become the seventh state to enact the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, following California, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Washington, and most recently Connecticut.

“Far too many people who work in warehousing go to work every day and put themselves in harm’s way because of strain or exhaustion, and even then, are told they’re still not abiding by an unknown production standard,” Taibi said. “By working with our allies in the legislature, particularly Rep. Evan Shanley and Senate Majority Leader Frank Ciccone, we’ve leveled the playing field by increasing something that isn’t measured enough: corporate accountability.”

The warehouse bill is the latest legislative success for Rhode Island Teamsters — last session, the union successfully got laws passed to enhance school bus safety and prevent mandatory attendance at anti-union propaganda meetings.

Teamsters Local 251 represents over 6,200 workers in a wide variety of industries throughout Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. For more information, go to teamsters251.org.
