Northwest Health expands at-home care management program for patients

9/22/2022

Northwest Health has expanded its Care Management at Home program to include three additional Northwest Physicians clinics: Northwest Family Medicine – Tuscany Square, Northwest Family Care – Rogers and Northwest Medical Plaza at Pinnacle.

The program is a remote monitoring and virtual care support program for Northwest Physicians patients managing certain chronic health conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

“After the successful launch of our patient monitoring program in April, we wanted to expand these unique services to include two additional clinics and several of our family medicine and internal medicine providers,” said Market Chief Executive Officer Chris York. “At Northwest Health, we’re here for our community. We want to make a difference in the lives of those we serve by helping prevent hospitalizations, reducing a patient’s care costs and also empower them to manage their health.”

Through a partnership with Cadence, a leader in remote patient monitoring, qualified patients will be given cellular-enabled devices, such as blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, weight scales or glucometers to capture daily vital information from the comfort of home. Daily readings are then transferred to Cadence clinicians who can help monitor for change in a patient’s condition and provide virtual care support when needed.

These clinics join three other Northwest Physicians locations offering the Care Management at Home program: Northwest Family Medicine – Centerton, Northwest Medical Plaza – Bentonville and Northwest Medical Plaza at Sugar Creek.
