KentuckyOne Health partners with Laurel Grocery Company to provide 24-hour virtual care

Partnership uses technology to increase care opportunities

LONDON, Ky. (July 6, 2015) — KentuckyOne Health and London-based Laurel Grocery Company have partnered to provide Laurel Grocery Company employees and their dependents with greater access to primary care services.

Anywhere_Care_IconIn 2014 Laurel Grocery Company established an on-site clinic for employees and their families open three days a week.

Using technology, the company’s employees now have access to primary care providers through KentuckyOne Anywhere Care, a virtual care service that allows individuals to consult with board-certified family practice providers by phone or video chat without leaving home—24 hours a day, seven days a week.

KentuckyOne Anywhere Care providers can treat common conditions like colds and flu, sore throats, rashes, allergies, bladder infections and more. Providers may prescribe medications, if appropriate, recommend an over-the-counter medication or provide home care options.

KentuckyOne Anywhere Care uses an embedded video option that connects patients with providers directly through the Anywhere Care website, without the need for outside video chat services, such as Skype. Patients can create an account on the site and easily access their visit summary with instructions for care after consulting with the provider.

KentuckyOne Anywhere Care also provides a follow-up report to the patient’s KentuckyOne provider following a visit. If needed, the KentuckyOne Anywhere Care provider will refer patients to a primary care provider or to an emergency department at Saint Joseph London, part of KentuckyOne Health.
