Background summary
Modern healthcare changes in postoperative care management have led to considerably shortened hospital admissions. At the same time, the amount of patients aged 65 years and older diagnosed with cancer and in need for surgery is increasing. This population is at risk for developing postoperative adverse events, also after hospital discharge. To avoid more invasive treatment of complications or even readmission (i.e., reduce medical consumption and healthcare costs, and improve clinical outcomes), timely recognition and management of deviations in recovery are of the utmost importance to prevent. Remote home monitoring might fill the perceived surveillance gap after hospital discharge. Therefore, we the aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of postoperative remote home monitoring in older cancer patients, with a novel developed IT-telemonitoring system.
Study objective
We hypothesize that remote home monitoring can detect post-discharge complications early and might prevent hospital readmissions.
Study design
Before surgery, before hospital discharge, at 3 months after surgery
