Summary

The Post discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring technology-2 (PVC-RAM-2) Trial is a multicentre, parallel group, superiority, randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of virtual care with remote automated monitoring (RAM) technology compared to standard care on acute-hospital care during the 45-day follow up after randomization, in adults who have undergone semi-urgent (e.g., oncology), urgent (e.g., hip fracture), or emergency (e.g., ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm) surgery. Secondary outcomes at 45 days after randomization include 1) days in hospital; 2) index length of hospital stay; 3) hospital re-admission; 4) emergency department visit; 5) medication error detection; 6) medication error correction; and 7) surgical site infection. Additional secondary outcomes are pain of any severity, and moderate-to-severe pain assessed at 15 and 45 days. We will also assess optimal management of long-term health by evaluating among self-reported current smokers and those with atherosclerotic disease, whether patients are taking classes of efficacious medications at 45 days post randomization.
