Western Sydney COVID-19 patients now being remotely monitored at home
Patients in Western Sydney who have contracted the coronavirus but are at low to medium risk of serious illness are being remotely monitored at home by GPs and hospital-based community health teams using CareMonitor's shared care software and biometric measurements such as temperature, oxygen saturation, blood pressure and heart rate.
COVID-19 positive patients presenting at Western Sydney Local Health District hospitals are being triaged using a risk assessment protocol in CareMonitor and based on the risk severity rating, are being referred to GPs to be managed in the community.
