Bryan Health Partners with Epic-based KeyCare Platform for Anywhere, Anytime Virtual Urgent Care Access
“Virtual care offers a wonderful opportunity to extend access to patients who want the convenience of receiving urgent care from the comfort of their home or on the go, or those who live in rural areas or lack reliable transportation,” said Jill Hull, Chief Operating Officer, Bryan Telemedicine and Teledigm Health. “Our partnership with KeyCare will enable us to expand our ability to bring affordable, convenient and trusted virtual urgent care to the communities we serve.”
KeyCare offers health systems the ability to easily augment their care teams, optimize capacity and widen their digital front doors by partnering with a nationwide network of virtual care providers working on its Epic platform, which then connects easily to other Epic-based health systems. By partnering with KeyCare, Bryan Health can maintain efficient, high-quality visits for their patients because the virtual care workflows support access and data sharing between Epic-based providers.
“We are pleased to launch this relationship with Bryan Health, who has been a true leader in the telemedicine space,” said Lyle Berkowitz, MD, CEO of KeyCare. “We look forward to collaborating with our new partner to improve virtual care offerings for Bryan Health patients, while jointly demonstrating how health systems can use virtual care to transform the management of populations, improve quality, and reduce physician burnout at scale.”
