Home To Stay Mobile Health Application

Home to stay is an integrated discharge monitoring system with a mobile application. Features of the application include a "Daily Health Check" to report on post-operative recovery, picture taking capability to photograph incisions/wounds and educational information on post-operative care at home. Patients will complete a "Daily Health Check" on post-discharge Day #1-14, #21 and #30. The Daily Health Check consists of a series of questions specific to colorectal surgery as well as the Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) questionnaire. After completion, the participant will receive a list of recommendations tailored to their responses including relevant education modules, to contact the surgical team or in urgent cases to go to the nearest emergency room. The participants' responses will be monitored daily via a secure web site. Any participants' responses in the extreme ranges are automatically "red flagged" and notify the health care team that a follow up telephone call is required.
