Covid Accelerated Pathways
Strategies to maintain hospital capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic included reducing hospital length of stay (LOS) for infected patients. This program sought to evaluate the association between LOS and enrollment in the COVID Accelerated Care Pathway, which consisted of a hospital observation protocol and post-discharge automated text message–based monitoring. This program showed a reduction in hospital length of stay by more than 2 days.
