Summary

The investigators believe that hospital readmissions for intermediate- to high-complexity surgeries can be reduced by remote patient monitoring follow-up post-discharge, which involves daily touchpoints with a clinical nurse, vital sign evaluation and a symptom directed communication escalation process.

Interventions

DEVICE

Remote Monitoring

Subjects assigned to the Remote Care group will receive education from a clinical nurse from Mayo Clinic's Department of Connected Care on use of the equipment as part of Remote Monitoring. The equipment will be shipped along with instructions and Welcome Letter describing the Mayo Clinic Remote Patient Monitoring program. The Remote Patient Monitoring kit includes a digital tablet, a blood pressure cuff, a thermometer, a pulse oximeter, and a weight scale. Subjects will be contacted by phone at the end of the study to be instructed how to return the kit by mail.
