Remote patient monitoring for managing acute <scp>COVID</scp>‐19, and mortality and hospital use in Sydney, New South Wales, 2021–22: a retrospective observational cohort study
RPM was associated with greater 14-day likelihood of hospital admission, but also with shorter mean length of stay and lower 28-day mortality, which may indicate that clinical deterioration was detected and treated earlier than with usual care. The benefit of RPM for managing other acute health conditions in the community, particularly infectious diseases, should be examined.
