Improving postoperative outcomes in gynecologic oncology through a standardized telehealth intervention: experience from an urban safety-net hospital system

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized postoperative phone call program on improving outcomes for patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery at an urban safety-net hospital. The study found that patients who received follow-up calls had significantly higher rates of postoperative visit attendance and outpatient management of complications, while also showing a trend towards lower mortality rates, indicating that such interventions may enhance care coordination and patient outcomes.
