Guideway Care: Improving Health Outcomes Through Expert Guidance Programs
Guideway’s library of evidence-based protocols form the framework for these programs and can be tailored to meet the needs of your specific patient population. In addition to providing disease-specific, non-clinical interventions, a crucial element in an effective care guidance program is the ability to provide patients with the support they need, when they need it.
Guideway Care’s cancer care guidance program has its roots in the Patient Care Connect (PCC) Program, a CMMI-funded pilot that spanned twelve cancer centers across five states. Independently audited and validated savings reached nearly $4,100/quarter per patient during the acute care phase, with similar savings in the last six months of life (more than $8,000 per patient), as well as HCAHPS care transitions scores in the 95th percentile or above among U.S. hospitals. The program includes barrier resolution, patient education, advanced care planning, connection with psychosocial support resources, and other interventions needed to support alternative payment models such as the Oncology Care Model.

The program is comprised of person-to-person and technology-enabled interactions, ensuring the patient feels heard, valued and prepared through every step of their care journey.
