Main Objectives
The main objective of this study was to describe the implementation and early experience of virtual health care for community management of patients with COVID-19.
The study used an observational cohort study design with patients who had COVID-19 and met specific inclusion criteria.
The patients were monitored remotely using pulse oximeter and temperature patch devices, and were contacted a median of 16 times during the study period.
The study found that 93.6% of patients with COVID-19 were accepted to the virtual health care program, and the median length of stay was 8 days.
The study also found that care escalation rates were low, with only 3 patients requiring hospital admission.
The study concludes that community-based virtual health care is feasible for managing most patients with COVID-19 and can be rapidly implemented in an urban Australian context for pandemic management.
