A leading healthcare system, BayCare, has entered into a strategic partnership with Cadence, a chronic illness management startup, to implement virtual care and remote patient monitoring programs in the Tampa Bay area and West Central regions.
The partnership aims to improve the care for seniors living with chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and congestive heart failure through a proactive and preventive approach.
BayCare will use a Cadence-provided technology platform to collect vital patient data, including glucose levels, heart rate, weight, and blood pressure. The information is then shared with their primary care physicians as well as the Cadence clinical care team, allowing for proactive and personalized care.
Cadence and BayCare team will also work together to provide patients with lifestyle guidance, 24/7 monitoring, and enhanced medication optimization. They aim to minimize hospitalization cases through early detection of potential health problems, improving patient outcomes.
According to Stephanie Conners, BayCare president and CEO, the partnership provides a comprehensive solution to improve the quality of healthcare services for those with chronic conditions and help them live healthier lifestyles.
Cadence works with health systems and US-based academic medical centers to help patients access guideline-directed life-extending medical therapies and care. Currently, its care team, comprising nurse practitioners, supports over 25,000 and more than 1,200 providers in 22 US states.
BayCare’s partnership with Cadence underscores its commitment to community-based, high-quality, compassionate care. The company aims to provide a robust patient experience and improve provider efficiencies through remote chronic disease management and round-the-clock patient monitoring.
