The SARS-CoV-2 that emerged in late 2019 has been noted to have a wide range of presentations, from asymptomatic and mild cases to those requiring intubation, ECMO, and critical care. As it is a novel pathogen, clinicians and scientists are only beginning understand when and who will require hospital-based resources such as oxygen, hospitalization, or ICU admission. The Medical Faculty Associates (MFA) COVID-19 Remote Monitoring Program (RPM) was developed to provide a daily touchpoint for patients during their COVID-19 course, including ready connection to paramedics and physicians when needed. The program was launched with the goal of identifying clinical decompensation early, maximizing available healthcare capacity, and minimizing nosocomial COVID-19 spread and healthcare worker exposure.~Investigators would like to perform analyses to test multiple hypotheses, including:~Patients discharged with a diagnosis of COVID-19 will be able to participate in a remote monitoring program.~A COVID-19 remote monitoring program will benefit patients.~Patients will be satisfied with their experience of a remote monitoring program and will have lower anxiety about their COVID-19 illness.
The GW Medical Faculty Associates recently launched a remote monitoring program for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Patients are provided with a home pulse oximeter and thermometer. Participants complete daily surveys about their symptoms and vital signs and are escalated to receive phone calls and video visits if responses are abnormal.~Investigators would like to complete a study of the program to understand:~Operational parameters of program performance, such as how many patients were enrolled and how many patients completed monitoring~Clinical course of patients, including their reported symptoms over time and clinical endpoints such as hospitalization or ICU admission~Patient satisfaction with program
