Partner Health System Implements Ovatient’s Virtual Care Solution

Digital health startup Ovatient, a collaboration between MetroHealth System and MUSC Health, has introduced a new virtual care platform for MetroHealth patients. This platform, integrated with Epic and MyChart, offers virtual urgent care, same-day primary care, and scheduled primary care through a national provider team.

With plans to serve over 12,000 patients in the first year, Ovatient and MetroHealth are revolutionizing healthcare delivery. Patients can access care from the comfort of their homes, workplaces, or other remote locations, thanks to the seamless integration of technology with MetroHealth’s systems.

Furthermore, Ovatient’s partnership with MUSC Health will expand virtual care services to South Carolina later this year. The company also has plans to launch a digital health platform exclusively for its health system partners, offering an enhanced consumer experience, access to more virtual specialty providers, and advanced clinical decision support.

In a larger trend, not all companies have succeeded in the virtual care space. Walmart recently announced the closure of its virtual care services due to profitability challenges, while Walgreens is starting to offer virtual care directly to consumers.

Ovatient’s innovative approach to virtual care, backed by strong partnerships and a focus on patient-centered solutions, is set to transform the healthcare landscape for MetroHealth patients in Ohio and beyond.
