Post Discharge After Surgery Virtual Care With Remote Automated Monitoring Technology-3 Trial

Surgery

The Post discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring technology (PVC-RAM)-3 Trial is a multicentre, parallel group, superiority, randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of virtual care with remote automated monitoring (RAM) technology compared to standard care on length of index hospital stay after randomization, in adults who have undergone elective non cardiac surgery. Secondary outcomes at 30 days after randomization include 1) acute hospital care (composite of hospital readmission and emergency department visit) 2) hospital re-admission; 3) emergency department visit; 4) medication error detection; 5) medication error correction; 6) surgical site infection; and 7) days in hospital. Additional secondary outcomes are pain of any severity, and moderate-to-severe pain assessed at 15 and 30 days after randomization. The investigators will also assess optimal management of long-term health by evaluating among patients with atherosclerotic disease and current smokers whether patients are taking classes of efficacious medications at 30 days.
