Summary

This proposal describes a human subjects research study evaluating mHealth Ambulatory Surgery with Follow-up Nurse (Recovery@Home), as an alternative postoperative care pathway for selected low-acuity surgical procedures in Uganda. The Recovery@Home model discharges eligible patients home on the day of surgery and provides structured postoperative follow-up through nurse telephone calls, home visits, mobile-app documentation, escalation algorithms, and surgeon teleconsultation when clinically indicated. The proposed research includes a design to evaluate Recovery@Home against traditional postoperative inpatient care in a randomized controlled trial across three participating Ugandan surgical facilities.
