Post Operative Hospital at Home After Colorectal Surgery
Early Post-operative Discharge of Colorectal Surgical Patients to a Virtual Hospital at Home Model (Post Operative Hospital at Home) - a Clinical Feasibility Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Aug 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this feasibility study is to investigate whether a virtual Hospital at Home is safe and possible for patients undergoing planned minimally invasive colorectal surgery. The study aims to answer the following main questions: What are the patient- and next-of-kin-related effects, as well as the clinical and organizational effects, of home-based admission? What are the implementation barriers for a full-scale randomized controlled trial? Participants will follow a standardized protocol for their care befor, during and after surgery. However, the care after surgery will be conducted at home using telemedicine.
