BayCare Partners with Cadence to Elevate Chronic Care Management

BayCare has announced a strategic partnership with Cadence, a chronic disease management company, to launch a remote patient monitoring and virtual care program designed to enhance care for seniors with chronic conditions. This program will focus on conditions such as hypertension, congestive heart failure, and type 2 diabetes, targeting patients in Florida's Tampa Bay and West Central regions. By leveraging Cadence’s advanced technology platform, the partnership aims to collect real-time patient data, including weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and glucose levels, which will be shared with both the patient’s primary care physician and Cadence’s 24/7 clinical care team.

The collaboration between BayCare and Cadence is centered on providing proactive and personalized healthcare. Cadence’s nurse-practitioner-led care team will offer continuous monitoring, medication optimization, and lifestyle guidance to patients. This approach is intended to identify potential health issues early, allowing for timely interventions that can prevent hospitalizations and improve overall patient outcomes. The program represents a significant shift towards a more preventive model of care, particularly for seniors who are managing chronic conditions.

BayCare’s President and CEO, Stephanie Conners, emphasized the importance of this partnership in advancing the well-being of patients and enhancing the professional lives of healthcare providers. She highlighted that the program aligns with BayCare’s commitment to delivering innovative care solutions that meet patients' needs in the most effective ways. By empowering patients to take control of their health through continuous monitoring and personalized care, the BayCare and Cadence partnership aims to set a new standard in chronic disease management, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and an improved quality of life for seniors in the region.
