Overview

Observational study evaluates TOCB™ effects on COVID-19 patient outcomes post-discharge, suggesting improved outcomes.

Key Points

  • Evaluate effects of the Transitions Of Care Bundle (TOCB™) on COVID-19 patient readmissions and mortality.
  • Retrospective study using electronic health records
  • Analyzed data from 243 COVID-19 patients (65 TOCB™, 178 control)
  • Compared demographics, comorbidities, and hospital outcomes between TOCB™ and control cohorts
  • TOCB™ group had fewer patients needing additional services after discharge (100% vs. 36%)
  • Associated with shorter hospital stays
  • Indicated potential decrease in hospital readmissions and fewer emergency department visits
