🎙️ In this episode, Dr. Lyle Berkowitz shares why KeyCare is the only virtual care platform with its own Epic instance — and why that distinction matters for health systems navigating access, scalability, and true interoperability. He walks through the "3 Cs" framework (Cover, Co-Manage, Complete Care), shares real patient stories, and explains how virtualists are becoming the next evolution of team-based care. From ambient AI to Epic integration, this conversation explores what it really takes to embed virtual care into a health system's workflow — not just bolt it on.
