Feasibility and Health-economic Evaluation of Remote Clinical Monitoring Enabling Same-day Discharge After Bariatric Surgery

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass

In brief

The ultimate goal of this research is to optimize care for patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery while alleviating pressure on hospital resources and staff. Furthermore, the study aims to generate policy-relevant data that can inform policymakers and healthcare providers in developing funding models and care pathways that balance safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This could support a broader implementation of ambulatory bariatric surgery without compromising quality of care.
