The goal of this study is to improve perioperative quality metric performance in patients receiving anesthesia care provided by Washington University Department of Anesthesiology. In this protocol, we describe (1) the use of telemedicine-augmented quality improvement interventions to enhance on-time dosage of surgical prophylactic antibiotics, while (2) carrying out large scale monitoring of surgical site infection incidence in the target population. If this quality improvement framework is found to be feasible and successful, we plan subsequently to study its application to additional perioperative quality metrics, including many pertinent to surgical site infection incidence such as perioperative glucose monitoring and management, and intraoperative temperature management.
The purpose of this study is to pilot test a telehealth Advance Care Planning (ACP) intervention among those with either mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or unrecognized dementia. Our goal is to pilot-test and evaluate a pragmatic Telehealth ACP intervention among patients with either the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or unrecognized dementia.
PrEPTECH Phase 2 is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a telehealth intervention in increasing PrEP uptake among cisgender men and transgender women who have sex with men over six months. Participants (N = 400) will be randomized equally into one of two study conditions, treatment with a telehealth intervention called PrEPTECH or a control condition consisting of treatment as usual plus access to a listing of online and local PrEP resources, and assessed via surveys at baseline and at 90 and 180 days after baseline. Randomization of participants will be stratified by participant sub-group (adult men who have sex with men, adolescent men who have sex with men, and transgender women). The baseline and follow-up assessments will include questions on demographic characteristics, measures related to our primary and secondary outcomes, and psychosocial measures. The primary outcomes measure is self-reported PrEP initiation at 3-month post enrollment, the percentage of participants reporting having taken at least one dose of PrEP medication by that time point. In addition, usage data and medical data will be collected and analyzed.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate if using Hospital Fit 2.0 as part of the usual care physiotherapy treatment of patients hospitalised at the department of Internal Medicine and the department of Pulmonology in MUMC+ will result in an increase in the amount of PA performed compared to patients who do not use Hospital Fit 2.0 as part of the physiotherapy treatment.
The direct and indirect costs of treating diabetes are high. 10-15% of the health budgets of many countries are spent on diabetes treatment. Most of these expenses are due to the treatment and follow-up costs of complications seen in patients who are not well monitored and whose metabolic control is not achieved. the rapid increase in diabetes causes polyclinic and hospital services to become more intense. Despite the increasing number of patients, both performance and due to non-physician occupational groups' insufficiency (Diabetes Dietician, Diabetes Nurse), patients can only be given an appointment once a year, and patients cannot be allocated sufficient time during the appointment. Since these problems are valid worldwide, Telemedicine programs are designed to provide easy, cheap, and practical follow-up and treatment of many chronic diseases in various states of the USA and many developed European countries.
The SALUS project is developing a new form of care, the application of self-tonometry by the patient itself, and an accompanying electronic case file connecting clinics, doctor's offices and patients.
Introduction: Over the last decades, telemedicine has been used in many surgical aspects. Its role in postoperative follow up is of significant interest with a remarkable success. Since the appearance of COVID-19, the challenge is how to follow the recommendations of World Health Organization which stressed on the importance of social distancing to avoid infection and at the same time provides satisfactory medical services. This study was done to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of Whatsapp social media program in postoperative follow up of patients with primary hip arthroplasty at the time of pandemic
This project is to analyze the outcomes of the Alpena Otago Telehealth Program. The Alpena Senior Citizens Center is implementing the Otago program, an evidence-based, 6-month, home exercise program using live video chats in combination with an online exercise app, Blue Marble. We will recruit seniors who are participants of the Alpena Otago Telehealth Program to allow the study team to analyze their outcomes. The goal of the study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a 6-month, home-based, Otago Telehealth program for seniors in Alpena.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate whether remote video/audio postoperative visits (telemedicine visits) affects patient satisfaction compared to in-person visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. If the primary objective of the study is achieved, it would allow better understanding of how telemedicine can be integrated into modern surgical practice to take care of postoperative patients.
