Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test a new process for having a virtual visit with a primary care doctor after discharge from the hospital, instead of an in-person visit.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this project is to fully develop the protocol for identifying patients who would benefit from a virtual visit and develop the protocol for implementing the virtual visit. The value of this project is that the results will provide ample preliminary data for a future randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. This project will have an intervention group only. The hypothesis is that the intervention can be implemented in a way that is feasible and acceptable to providers and patients.
