The program will support managing patients with hypertension, congestive heart failure, and type 2 diabetes. Patients referred to Cadence will benefit from real-time capture of vitals such as weight, blood pressure, heart rate and glucose levels that are shared with the patient’s primary care physician and Cadence’s 24/7 clinical care team. In partnership with BayCare clinicians, Cadence provides consistent monitoring, medication optimization, lifestyle guidance and intervention if any vitals are out of range, all in pursuit of optimal health outcomes.
“BayCare is continuously exploring avenues to enhance the well-being of our patients and the professional lives of our physicians, providers and team members. Our commitment extends to innovative care delivery solutions,” said Stephanie Conners, BayCare president and CEO. “This partnership offers a comprehensive solution that elevates the quality of care for patients with chronic conditions and empowers them to embrace healthier lifestyles. It’s another example of BayCare’s commitment to bring care where you need it, when you need it, and how you need it.”
By collaborating with leading health systems and academic medical centers in the U.S., Cadence is helping patients access life-extending, guideline-directed medical therapy and care. Cadence’s nurse-practitioner led care team is currently supporting more than 25,000 patients and more than 1,200 providers across 22 states. With monitoring and access to care 24/7, patients using Cadence have seen positive clinical outcomes, including an 61% reduction in heart failure hospital readmissions, 107% increase achieving goal blood pressure and 43% increase in achieving goal blood glucose levels.
“BayCare is one of the country’s most forward-thinking health systems, and we are excited to help them deliver proactive, personalized care from the comfort of their homes,” said Chris Altchek, CEO & founder of Cadence. “Our partnership makes it possible for primary care physicians to deliver personalized, 24/7 care to all of their patients with chronic disease.”
