Brief Summary

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

The goal of this research is to evaluate an intervention, which the investigators call "Home Hospital for Lymphoma," that involves remote patient monitoring and home-based supportive care for patients hospitalized with lymphoma at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Detailed Description

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

This research study is a single arm pilot Feasibility Study, which is the first-time investigators are examining this hospital at home intervention for patients with lymphoma.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, questionnaires, remote patient monitoring (e.g. patient-reported symptoms and home monitored vital signs) and home-based supportive care (e.g. visits to patients' homes to address and manage any concerning issues identified), and interviews of participants, caregivers, and clinicians asking their perceptions of the Home Hospital for Lymphoma program.

Participants will include 3 groups:

Enrolled participants receiving the hospital at home intervention, caregivers of participants, and clinicians.

Participants will be in the research study for about six months after consent. It is expected that up to 38 participants will take part in this research study.
