Omada Health, a virtual, integrated chronic care healthcare provider, and Castell, Intermountain Healthcare’s value-based care subsidiary, have entered into a partnership that expands the access of Omada’s Diabetes Prevention Program and Diabetes Program to patients and caregivers receiving care from Intermountain Healthcare’s primary care providers within its Utah Medical Group.
Castell will help to target and enrol eligible patients through their existing care pathways. Patients who have, or are at risk for, diabetes will be proactively contacted by Castell care coordinators and Intermountain providers to give them the option to enrol into the appropriate Omada program.
Omada Health’s Diabetes Prevention Program and Diabetes Program offer members support along with intervention from health coaches certified through the CDC-affiliated Diabetes Training and Technical Assistance Center.
The members of the programs receive pre-connected cellular scales, with Diabetes Program members also receiving continuous glucose monitors and blood glucose meters, all of which report data seamlessly and track progress in real-time. The Diabetes Prevention and Diabetes programs also include an individualized care plan that is backed by behaviour science to encourage lasting lifestyle changes.
“This announcement points to a critical, strategic need in the industry - deep collaboration between health systems and virtual care providers,” said Wei-Li Shao, President of Omada Health. “This new partnership positions Omada Health squarely at the intersection of in-person and virtual healthcare for some of the most prevalent chronic conditions and is a statement on where the evolution of care is headed.”
