ACOs partner with Steadywell to offer their providers a value-based, comprehensive supportive care platform for patients with serious illness. Primary care providers and specialists use Steadywell to identify their complex patients and monitor them between office visits, while patients use the platform to learn more about their condition, identify their quality of life goals, and create advanced care plans. Steadywell is free of cost to patients but is only available to those covered by Medicare.

Steadywell monitors patients for changes in symptoms, pain, and well-being and notifies their physicians so they can respond sooner. This results in a better quality of life for patients and less stress for both patients and caregivers. Steadywell also provides patients and families with education and guidance in goal-setting and care planning to help them make more informed care decisions and ensure providers understand their wishes for future care.

Steadywell is an extension of the physician’s practice. Our platform educates patients and supports them between office visits, proactively communicating changes in status or needs to providers and office staff. This improves quality of care and shared decision-making and reduces ER visits, unplanned hospitalizations, and overtreatment. 

ACOs are concerned about the cost and quality of care for patients with serious illness. However, many primary care and specialist providers don’t have the time, training, or resources to offer patients comprehensive supportive care and are eager to engage a partner with scalable, trustworthy services.
