Snippet: Hospital discharge planning can be complex and hospital space is often limited. Patients, including those with COVID-19, can have prolonged symptoms after discharge and often require ongoing monitoring. Furthermore, prolonging hospital stays primarily for monitoring can expose patients to iatrogenic and infectious risks.

Document: Hospital discharge planning can be complex and hospital space is often limited. Patients, including those with COVID-19, can have prolonged symptoms after discharge and often require ongoing monitoring. Furthermore, prolonging hospital stays primarily for monitoring can expose patients to iatrogenic and infectious risks. The patient's overall condition and their home support system factor into the decisions of when and where to discharge patients. Innovations in remote patient monitoring (RPM) now allow for more options in the discharge process. This case report presents a patient with severe COVID-19 pneumonia where RPM was used at discharge to improve home monitoring and clinical follow-up. Additional experience with RPM is necessary to refine its role in post-acute care monitoring.
