Abstract:
It is intuitive that post discharge surgical complications are associated with increased patient dissatisfaction, and directly associated with an increase in medical expenditures. It is also easy to make the connection that many post hospital discharge surgical complications including surgical site infections could be influenced or exacerbated by patient co-morbidities. The authors of a recent study reported that female gender, obesity, diabetes, smoking, hypertension, coronary artery disease, critical limb ischemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dyspnea, and neurologic disease were all of among significant predictors of surgical site infections after vascular reconstruction was performed. The main concern for optimal patient care especially in geographically isolated areas of West Virginia is to have early, expeditious, and prompt diagnosis of early surgical site infection with subsequent indicated interventions. This theme will lead to patient satisfaction, minimizing third party interventions and decrease the total cost associated with these complications. Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to believe that monitoring using telehealth technology and managing the general health care patients receive after a hospital vascular intervention will improve overall health and reduce post-operative complications.
Aims/Objectives:
1. The primary objective of the current project is to compare early and late outcomes for patients who receive post discharge health care monitoring (which includes using Telehealth electronic monitoring; THEM) to patients who receive standard of care (SOC) and routine discharge instructions and no monitoring.

| Tele-Health Electronic Monitoring (THEM) | Other | Patients in the intervention group (THEM) will receive a tablet computer and home monitoring medical devices with sensors to transmit the information to a central website that will be monitored by care managers. Medical devices will include weight scales, blood pressure cuffs and blood glucometers. Clinical care mangers will remotely monitor the patients and all electronic readings. Clinical care managers will call or send text messages to the patients based on alerts generated by the tele-health monitoring system. |

| The Difference Between Baseline and 30-day Quality of Life (Short-Form 8) Physical Summary Score | The Difference between baseline and 30-day quality of life (Short-Form 8) Physical summary T-scores. The short-form (SF-8) Health Survey is an 8-item survey designed to measure quality of life. The SF-8 has 8 questions that first measures eight ordinal items (i.e., 1-5 Likert scale): general health, physical health functioning, role physical, bodily pain, vitality, social functioning, mental health and emotional roles. Summing the responses of the 8 items can be used to report an overall measure of physical and mental functioning. The raw Likert scale scores are converted to normalized standard T scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Measuring physical and mental health both before and after an intervention, as continuous summary scores can indicate better self-reported quality of life with higher scores. A difference score of 0 would indicate no change, while a larger positive difference score would indicate an increase in self-reported quality of life. |

| Patient Satisfaction as Measured by the General Satisfaction Sub-scale of the Short-Form Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ18) | Patients' satisfaction was compared using the General Satisfaction sub-scale of the Short-Form Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ18). The PSQ-18 contains 18 items (questions) that can measure seven dimensions of satisfaction: general satisfaction, technical quality, interpersonal manner, communication, financial aspects, time spent with doctor, and accessibility and convenience. Responses to the PSQ-18 require a selection on a Likert scale from 1 Strongly Agree to 5 Strongly Disagree with some of the questions worded in such a manner that agreement reflects greater satisfaction (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 15 & 18). These responses were "re-coded" in order for a larger number to reflect greater satisfaction. Next, two individual items (3 and 17) are summed and averaged to produce the general satisfaction sub-scale. A larger number reflects greater satisfaction, with a range of 1 to 5. | 30-day |
