COVID Care at Home
Kevin expected to be admitted to the hospital that day, but was instead referred to the Avera COVID Transition Team. Within hours, Kevin was back at home and an At-home Monitoring Kit was delivered to his house, containing a tablet and Bluetooth monitoring devices, including a weight scale, blood pressure cuff, thermometer, and pulse oximeter. Shortly after receiving the kit, Kevin received a call from the Avera COVID Transition Team and trained on his kit and devices in 20 minutes.
Everyday, twice a day, Kevin would submit his vital signs and answer questions about his symptoms using the monitoring kit. If Kevin didn’t submit his vital signs, he would receive a call from the Avera Team to ensure he was feeling well.
The Avera COVID Transition Team monitored Kevin’s health 24/7 throughout his recovery, providing encouragement and support until Kevin’s symptoms were mitigated and he was no longer at risk of hospitalization.
