MyChart
CHICAGO, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- KeyCare, the nation's first Epic-based virtual care
company, announced today that it is collaborating with Group Health
Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin (GHC-SCW) to provide
24x7 urgent care in all 50 states via virtual visits through
GHC-SCW's MyChart patient portal. GHC-SCW is a non-profit,
member-owned health plan providing high-quality health care and
health insurance services to over 75,000 members living in South
Central Wisconsin.
GHC-SCW patients can now obtain anywhere, anytime, high-quality
virtual urgent care with licensed providers (known as Virtualists).
Beginning in May, patients will also have the option for
asynchronous visits with Virtualists.
"As a member-centric organization driven by quality, GHC-SCW is
dedicated to innovations that improve access, equity, and inclusion
in the communities we serve," said Annette
Fox, chief information officer, GHC-SCW. "The ability to use
Epic functionality and interoperability is a key differentiator
provided by KeyCare in enabling our members to receive seamless
virtual care."
KeyCare offers health systems and similar organizations 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 offering on-demand access to virtual care whenever and
wherever patients need it, healthcare organizations can help their
patients overcome many barriers to care," said Lyle Berkowitz, MD, CEO of KeyCare. "We are
proud to partner with GHC-SCW to further its mission of maximizing
member health and well-being."
About KeyCare
KeyCare connects health systems with a network of independent
virtual care providers working on KeyCare's Epic-based EMR and
telehealth platform. This allows health systems to use KeyCare's
virtual workforce to improve access for their patients in a
coordinated manner, while also decreasing the burden on their own
providers. Health systems can start with nationwide virtual
on-demand care coverage (24x7, 50-state coverage), and then may add
other virtual health services based on their patients' needs. To
