UofL Health expands telehealth to assist in COVID-19 response
On March 16, UofL Health launched an expansion of our telehealth program to improve patient access while maintaining social distancing during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We now have over 675 providers using this technology to provide patient care.
UofL Health – Telehealth is available to established and qualifying new patients by calling our primary care access line: 502-588-4343. A scheduling specialist will help determine whether a telehealth or in-person visit best serves the need of the patient.
The telehealth appointment is similar to an in-person appointment with a provider. During the visit, the patient will talk about his/her current health concerns and learn what to do.
- The visit can take place from a location that is most convenient and comfortable for the patient.
- Providers will use a video-based application to speak with the patient by phone, tablet or computer.
- The telemedicine platform is secure and HIPPA compliant.
- The patient’s photo and voice will not be recorded or stored.
- The patient’s privacy and rights will be respected and ensured.
If it is determined that a telehealth appointment is appropriate, the scheduler will provide further instructions to the patient on downloading the application, verifying an email address, and confirming that there is a compatible device available (desktop, laptop, phone or tablet) with a webcam or built-in camera. When it is time for the appointment to begin, the patient will click on a link to be connected with the provider.
Through UofL Health – Telehealth, our providers can provide an initial assessment of symptoms related to COVID-19, plus treat common conditions like colds and flu, sore throats, rashes, allergies, bladder infections and more. Providers may prescribe medication, if appropriate, recommend over-the-counter medication or provide home care options. If needed, the provider may refer patients to an appropriate UofL Physicians – Primary Care location, specialist or to an emergency department.
Updated Visitor Policy for UofL Health – Mary & Elizabeth Hospital
Because of the current COVID-19 pandemic and anticipation of a surge of cases in Kentucky, UofL Health is constantly evaluating and updating our visitor policy out of care and concern for the safety of our patients and staff. We understand the difficulty that these decisions may mean for our patients and their loved ones, and appreciate your support in ensuring that the most current policy is followed.
Effective immediately, no visitors will be allowed in the treatment areas of any UofL Health Emergency Departments – including UofL Health – Mary & Elizabeth Hospital -- except for the following:
- Life-threatening illnesses as determined by the attending physician and/or charge RN (severe trauma/critically ill from something other than COVID-19): one family member at-a-time for a specified period. Minors will be allowed one visitor (parent or guardian) in the room after appropriate screening and will be required to wear a mask.
- Any patient that requires special needs, which can include those with a disability, cognitive impairment, developmentally-disabled individuals with a variety of personal, educational and vocational tasks, etc. will be allowed one visitor. These visitors must wear a mask.
Tent Triage at UofL Health – Mary & Elizabeth Hospital
Mary & Elizabeth launched its Emergency Department tent triage/assessment area on Friday, April 3. Using a number of tents in the ED ambulance bay, this area is designed to rapidly identify low-acuity and low-risk respiratory patients and discharge them before they ever get exposed to the environmental risk of being in the hospital.
The streamlined process is designed to protect emergency department staff by minimizing potential COVID-19 exposures. In addition to the assessments, the space has been configured to allow for some basic testing including portable chest x-rays, lab draws and EKGs. For those occasional patients who ultimately warrant admission, the process includes direct admission to the hospital from the tent area, bypassing the ED and again, limiting potential exposure between patients and staff.

Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday made a call to action for any person, organization or business that can donate more personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontline workers in the fight against the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Gov. Beshear and others have said latex-free gloves, gowns and N95 and surgical masks remain in tight supply. He said his administration is making constant efforts to purchase more PPE, but has faced significant challenges.
A new hotline (1-833-GIVE PPE) and website (giveppe.ky.gov) have streamlined the entire donation process. In addition, PPE donations now are being accepted at all 16 Kentucky State Police posts across the commonwealth and at Transportation Cabinet offices in Louisville and Lexington.
Gov. Beshear also said he spoke Monday with members of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce about help the business community here can provide in purchasing and manufacturing during this crisis.
The Governor is asking all Kentuckians to continue to fight the spread of the virus by following his 10-step guidance, which includes practicing social distancing and staying healthy at home. Gov. Beshear says these efforts have the potential to save the lives of as many as 11,000 Kentuckians.
Vowing to keep consumers from unfairly being overcharged for goods or services during the pandemic, Gov. Beshear again extended his executive order prohibiting price gouging by another 15 days. Anyone with information about unfair sales or billing practices is encouraged to contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection hotline at 888-432-9257 or fill out the complaint form online.

Because the seven-day waiting period is now waived, if a Kentuckian is approved for benefits, the first payment they receive will be for two weeks of benefits and not just one, as is regular procedure.

Bro, MALE DOG
Bro was all smiles after learning he got an A-plus for good behavior from his foster family. The one-year-old Labrador Retriever was super friendly with everyone and he got along with the resident dog and cat! The cat wasn’t a fan of being petted by Bro or his gentle kisses, but the rest of the family loved his affectionate side! Bro is smart, a quick learner and he already knows several commands. He’s housetrained and crate-trained, with no problems settling in when it’s bedtime. Bro is also a goofball who loves toys, especially his rope toy which he often plays with by himself. Bro’s adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. Neuter, vaccinations and a microchip are included! Bo weighs about 56lbs. He would love to have a fur sibling that also enjoys plenty of playtime. Bro can be tested with potential fur siblings by request. To meet Bro, visit Animal House Adoption Center, located at 3516 Newburg Road, open daily from 12-6pm. For more info about Bro, email animalservicesadoption@louisvilleky.gov.

At the advice of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, VITA has temporarily suspended operations. With the number of clients they see each day, the potential to transmit the coronavirus to taxpayers or volunteers is high, and the main priority is the health of our community.

The appointment system will not be accessible during this period. During this time, we encourage taxpayers to use the free, online filing options that are accessible on this website. They will also be working to increase their capacity to assist taxpayers in completing their own returns through additional resources and exploring alternative service delivery models to assist taxpayers. There may be remote volunteer opportunities to assist in these efforts, and we will keep you updated. At this time, the IRS has not issued an official extension of the filing deadline, but it is possible that they may do so. We will be sure to update you regarding any changes to the tax code that may affect you during this time.

Lighter traffic pattern enables New Dixie Highway crews to shift final surfacing work to daylight hours
Crews working on the $35 million New Dixie Highway project will this week begin final surfacing work – the last portion of the project expected to involve lane closures.
Originally, crews were expected to complete final surfacing in the evening and overnight to avoid impeding traffic during peak times. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has meant a significant reduction in daytime driving on Dixie Highway, allowing for the final surfacing work to be done in daylight. Traffic has decreased with the cancellation of schools and churches, as well as restrictions on restaurants and retail.
Moving the work to the daytime hours will improve the quality of the final surface. Even with bright lights brought to the work site, workers are not able to see all indents and imperfections in the surfacing at night. Doing the work during the daylight hours will improve the smoothness of the road, which should be a noticeable improvement to drivers.
The final surfacing and striping will be completed by mid-May. Crews are also continuing to work on technology components of the New Dixie Highway, including improved signaling.
