During the study time period, over 2,500 patients across 4 states and 9 Providence markets were enrolled in Cadence’s Remote Patient Care program, with over a third of those patients living in rural or underserved areas. The program is integrated with Providence’s electronic health record, operated by a physician and nurse practitioner-led clinical team that is available 24/7, and is aligned to existing fee-for-service reimbursement. 

Results from the Cadence/Providence case study highlight a model that delivers meaningful outcomes and scalable impact:

43% relative increase in blood pressure control (42% → 60%)

107% increase in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction on all four guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) pillars (15% → 31%)

300% increase in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction on all four GDMT pillars (2% → 8%)

$203 per patient per month lower total cost of care, driven by reductions in inpatient and outpatient spend, and inclusive of the cost of the RPM program

4.9/5 patient satisfaction and NPS +40 across 700+ survey responses

How comfortable a child is in their school may influence their physical activity levels, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.

A Washington State University initiative helped a Spokane home health care agency ensure its patients’ medication lists were in proper order and reduced hospitalizations of high-risk heart-failure patients by more than half over a 10-week period.
