To get the treatment they need, particularly after an acute health crisis, many patients make unnecessary (and high-cost) trip to the emergency room or urgent care clinics. With increased concern about symptoms of COVID-19, many individuals are pursuing urgent in-person treatment that raises their risk of exposure to something serious. Also, it can help minimize hospital readmissions (and costs) by educating patients about follow-up treatment using technology. Written post-discharge guidance and continued contact using remote supervision will help them better control their condition away from healthcare facilities, in addition to cost savings associated with lower readmission rates.
