Summary

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

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.
