Team interviewed patients enrolled in COVID Watch (in English & Spanish) and referring clinicians to better understand experience + inform future program design.
Both groups agreed - the program was reassuring and comforting.

An occasional, simple “How are you feeling?” text from a primary care team can make a big difference in patients’ health after they are discharged from the hospital, according to a new study led by Eric Bressman, MD, & Anna U. Morgan, MD (@AnnaUma). https://t.co/3hDuRYrsEJ
ICYMI: Using a program built and managed by @PENNWaytoHealth, researchers led by Eric Bressman & @annauma found that automated text messages to patients after hospital discharge helped reduce readmissions and ED visits. @politico covered in brief: https://t.co/dINXIQAMt0
Excited to share new work published in @JAMANetworkOpen yesterday!
Discharged patients who were enrolled in a primary-care based text messaging program were less likely to go back to the hospital within 30 days.
Pilot reported here, RCT ongoing!
NEW: Eric Bressman & Anna Morgan (@AnnaUma) wrote about their @JAMANetworkOpen study that shows how tech can improve the transition from hospital to home for discharged patients and highlights the need for new regulations & payment structures.
