Performance of a Remote Monitoring Program for Patients Diagnosed With COVID-19

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:

1. Patients discharged with a diagnosis of COVID-19 will be able to participate in a remote monitoring program.
2. A COVID-19 remote monitoring program will benefit patients.
3. Patients will be satisfied with their experience of a remote monitoring program and will have lower anxiety about their COVID-19 illness.
