Our Leadership Team is meeting daily to review all protocols and procedures to ensure we are consistent and current with all facility and clinical practice management recommendations.
We continue to look to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for prevention direction, as well as the U.S. State Department for international travel guidance and restrictions. Telemedicine is also anticipated to be part of the Keystone Healthcare solution.
We will keep everyone updated on significant developments and encourage you to explore the links on this page.
Keystone TelehealthTM

Telemedicine helps protect patients, healthcare providers, and hospitals by decreasing the volume of people seeking care in facilities. The Keystone Telehealth team is working diligently to provide reliable methods to support our EM Medical Directors.- Virtual Case Management Our virtual case management services make certain the correct admission status is assigned to every patient case to ensure proper care and appropriate hospital reimbursement.
- Tele-Triage Our tele-triage solutions provide additional care capacity, allowing providers from affiliate hospitals to video chat with patients and deliver quality care remotely while minimizing exposure and controlling costs.
- Hospital Lightning Rounds Our hospital lightning rounds are a method of quick rounding on patients using telehealth solutions to provide speedier discharges.
- ED2Home Our ED2Home program utilizes telemedicine to continue giving patients access to ED physicians from the comfort and safety of their homes, minimizing risk and optimizing care.
