The virtual care program provides continuous cardiometabolic support for patients with heart failure at home

With the increase in the indicators of chronic diseases in the US, health care systems are constant challenges related to limiting hospital and readmistion stay. Almost 1 in 4 patients with heart failure are readani to the hospital within 30 days of discharge, and less than 20% receive all four pillars of medical therapy after the discharge, despite strong evidence indicating that these therapies improve patient results.

At the same time, it is expected that the number of people living with a chronic disease will double from 2020 to 2050. The distance of patient care fills a critical gap, offering a scalable way to support the most sensitive patients, improving compliance with care -based care and limiting hospitalization, regardless of the geographical location.

In order to help closing critical gaps in caring for heart failure, American Heart Association, a tenacious force that changes the future of health for everyone around the world, was developed by the American Heart Association Connected Care ™, powered by Cadence, a virtual care program that provides ongoing heart care and cardiometabolism at home after their stay hospital.

Hospitals can direct qualifying patients to the program connected before the discharge. The association cooperates with participating hospitals to integrate the program with work flow. Cadence saves patients to the program, teaching them how to use devices, monitoring life signs and providing continuous clinical support.

Our heritage is based on reviving science and meeting people in which they are to imagine how health care is provided. Combining advanced monitoring technology from a remote patient with our specialist knowledge in the field of care directed by guidelines and management of chronic diseases, we can help to extend high -quality care hospitals, ensuring that people with heart failure will receive proactive, timely support at home when they need it the most. “

John Meiners, head of activities related to the mission at the American Heart Association

The association overturned this cooperation with Cadence to extend the range of trusted science for homes and community, using the distant Cadence platform and a group of virtual suppliers 24/7.

“Hospitals try to expand consistent care based on evidence when the patients left the door,” said Chris Altchek, general director and founder of Cadence. “By combining the golden scientific guidelines of the American Heart Association with remote monitoring of Cadence and they always care, the American Heart Association Connected Care, powered by Cadence, makes it proactive, personalized support in the heart at any point and time.”

American Heart Association Connected Care is aimed at:

• Reduce 30-day reading For people with heart failure by ensuring peace and timely intervention for patients and their families.
• Support patients with heart failure From admission to the hospital through safe discharge and recovery at home.
• Share more with communities Providing personalized support outside the hospital walls.

“Too often, people with heart failure are discharged from the hospital to be found in a month,” said Marat Fudim, MD, MHS, a professor of medicine at the Duke University School of Medicine and a cardiologist with heart failure at the Duke University Medical Center. “Thanks to timely interventions and support based on evidence, remote monitoring of patients allows us to fill this gap, carefully observing patients’ health when they are at home, avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and achieving better long -term results.”

The roots in the century of innovative scientific breakthroughs, trusted clinical guidelines and supported scientific educational content, Connected Care offers patients in a timely manner, remote protection and support to help them follow treatment plans, take healthy habits and avoid reading.

The Connected Care pilot program is currently underway in four hospitals:

• Texas Health Allen, Texas Health Resources – Allen, Texas
• Rutherford Regional Medical Center, LifePoint Health – Rutherfordton, NC
• Frye Regional Medical Center, Lifepoint Health – Hickory, NC
• Community Hospital of Monterey Peninsula, Montage Health – Monterey, California.
