Case Study: Essentia Health achieves higher enrollment and engagement in virtual diabetes care with Omada Health

Essentia Health exceeds enrollment goals by 25% with Omada Health

Essentia Health, an integrated health system in the Midwest, faced the nuanced challenge of enrolling and engaging a unique patient population, which included many of its own employees working varied shifts, in virtual diabetes care programs. To address this, they partnered with vendor Omada Health, implementing Omada for Prevention and later Omada for Diabetes to provide flexible, equitable resources.

The solution involved a strategic partnership with health plan Medica and a focused rollout using creative communication channels like EMR banners, internal newsletters, a rewards program, and the Viva Engage platform to drive awareness. Omada Health's programs provided on-demand education and health coaching, leading to Essentia surpassing its enrollment goals by over 25% for each program and achieving high engagement metrics like food tracking and glucometer usage.
