Valley Healthcare System becomes first federally qualified health center in the country to offer an OnMed CareStation

Columbus, Ga. (CARESOURCE) – CareSource, a nationally recognized nonprofit health plan serving more than 440,000 Georgians, announced a strategic collaboration with OnMed, the industry’s leading tech-enabled health equity solution, to bring its state-of-the-art hybrid care model to Columbus, Georgia.

The OnMed CareStation, featuring advanced medical diagnostic tools and real-time video consultations, will empower patients at Valley Healthcare to receive medical care without leaving their local community. The station features comprehensive real-time diagnostics, including blood pressure, temperature and oxygen levels, immediate e-prescriptions and multi-language support.

“CareSource is honored to partner with Valley Healthcare and OnMed to implement this technology and help close gaps in care to ensure families receive the medical care they need,” said Dr. Minh Nguyen, market chief medical officer, CareSource Georgia. “With the addition of the OnMed CareStation, we aim to reduce barriers to care, decrease wait times and improve overall health outcomes.”

Key Features of the OnMed CareStation Include:

  • Immediate Access to Care: Patients can connect instantly with health care professionals for consultations, reducing wait times and expanding access to medical advice and treatment.
  • On-Site Diagnostics: The CareStation includes various diagnostic tools to monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation.
  • Privacy and Security: Designed with patient confidentiality in mind, the CareStation provides a safe, secure and private environment for consultations.
  • E-Prescriptions and Treatment Plans: Licensed clinicians provide immediate treatment plans, over-the-counter recommendations or e-prescribe to the most convenient pharmacy.

“Solving healthcare access is a big mission and needs to be a team sport,” said OnMed CEO Karthik Ganesh. “It takes partnerships such as this to make a dent in arguably our greatest healthcare challenge as a country.
