Optimization of Outpatient Surgery at the CHUM Using the LeoMed Telecare

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of this study is to carry out a medico-economic evaluation of a new platform for outpatient surgical care, by comparing the effectiveness and utility of the deployment of this trajectory on patients and the health system to a control group.

Clinical Trial Description

Outpatient surgery allows the patient to leave the hospital on the day of their surgery and thus avoid complete hospitalization. There are many advantages to this practice. Patients can remain in the comfort of their own home with the support of their family caregivers and the healthcare system can avoid incurring additional hospital costs and redirect these savings to other critical needs. However, despite the advantages of outpatient surgery, the tools and measures currently in place to supervise the preparation before the operation and the follow-up after the operation are suboptimal. Following surgery, adverse events such as moderate to severe pain, nausea/vomiting, infection and bleeding from the operative site are very rarely sought out and detected by healthcare facilities. However, these are the main causes of readmissions or emergency consultations for patients. In order to optimize the care offer, the anesthesiology department, the innovation and artificial intelligence center of the CHUM as well as the Quebec telecare platform LeoMed have joined forces in order to offer, through a health application, follow-up and personalized support for patients undergoing outpatient surgery. The investigators believe that the integration of this platform in the course of care will allow early diagnosis of the main postoperative complications and therefore, prevent calls to the Health-Info line, emergency room returns, as well as readmissions or unscheduled postoperative consultations. A patient-as-partner approach has been chosen in the initial phase, where 12 patients having had an outpatient surgery less than 6 months ago, will be recruited to test the platform. Another 12 patients, scheduled to undergo an outpatient surgery, will test the optimized support and follow up application. Their feedback will help to correct and/or improve the platform, if necessary. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
