Henry Schein One Partners with Bridge to Develop axiUm Engage

New Platform to Streamline Workflows and Enhance Patient Engagement for Dental Schools and Care Organizations

PRESS RELEASE

AMERICAN FORK, Utah, October 14, 2024

Henry Schein One today announced a partnership with Bridge, a patient engagement technology provider, to develop and launch axiUm Engage in 2025, a platform designed to streamline workflows for academic and dental care organizations. With this partnership, axiUm Engage will offer features such as patient intake, messaging, appointment scheduling, and online bill pay, all fully integrated with the axiUm software. This solution will empower dental schools and care organizations with better patient engagement tools and efficient management of patient data.

Many dental schools face challenges balancing educational duties with patient care, often relying on manual processes for scheduling, data entry, and communication, leading to increased administrative burdens and a less-than-optimal patient experience.

axiUm Engage is a tool aimed at addressing these challenges. The platform will provide self-service capabilities for patients, such as online appointment booking, secure messaging, billing, and access to dental records, enabling patients to take an active role in their care. For providers, the streamlined workflows will reduce administrative load, allowing them to focus on delivering high-quality care.

"We're thrilled to partner with Bridge to bring axiUm Engage to the academic dental community," said Rick Gay, General Manager, Academic at Henry Schein One. "This upcoming solution will help dental schools and care organizations simplify their administrative processes, while enhancing the patient experience by offering the same level of convenience that patients have come to expect from private practices."

"We are excited to begin this new partnership to improve the dental patient experience and advance the capabilities of our platform," said John Deutsch, CEO of Bridge. Once launched, axiUm Engage will help care providers provide more efficient care and improve patient satisfaction by delivering a seamless, modern experience.
