Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Rate of patients without failure to the e-follow-up. A failure is defined by absence of connection to the electronic tool and the mismatch between the alert level and severity of complications. | 1.5 months by patient |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient satisfaction to the e-follow-up. | 1.5 months by patient | Satisfaction will be evaluated by questionnaire. |
| The rate of patients who discontinue the study 8 days before the surgery. | 1.5 months by patient | — |
| The number of unplanned visits into the Center after ambulatory surgery in the first 24 hours and during the first 30 days will be assessed for each patient. | 1.5 months by patient | — |
| Rate of patients with at least one unplanned visit. | 1.5 months by patient | — |
| The time spent by the dedicated nurse for the follow-up protocol management. | 1.5 months by patient | It will be defined as the sum of the time spent at different stages: initial training of patients, tracking of the connections to the tool, tracking of the alerts and telephone contacts. |
