Home to Stay Mobile App for Colorectal Surgery

"The app will be provided to patients in hospital on post-operative day 3. On the day of discharge, the patient will be emailed a Daily Health Check and receive subsequent Daily Health Check emails on Day 1-14, 21 and 30 days following discharge. The Daily Health Check is a tailored questionnaire to elicit their symptoms and status of post-operative recovery. After the patient has completed the Daily Health Check, a Daily Health Check Summary is emailed to the patient that summarizes their responses and provides appropriate action recommendations based on their responses ranging from: (i) suggestions for educational modules, (ii) expect a call from your health care team in the next 24 hours, (iii) call your surgeon's office today or (iv) go to the nearest emergency room. The patient's Daily Health Check responses are displayed in real time on a secure website that automatically red flags extreme responses to alert the health care team to contact the patient by telephone."
