ClinConnect Summary

The CONTACT-GRECCAR 21 trial is looking at how effective remote monitoring can be after colorectal surgery. This means that after patients leave the hospital, they will either be monitored from home for 30 days or follow the usual discharge process without extra monitoring. The goal is to see if remote monitoring helps reduce the chances of patients needing to return to the hospital.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have had colorectal surgery that required a hospital stay. They should also be at risk for readmission, meaning there’s a good chance they might need to go back to the hospital after surgery. If you participate, you'll have a follow-up visit at the hospital 30 days after your surgery and a phone call 90 days later to check on your recovery. This study is not currently recruiting participants, so if you or a loved one are interested, it's important to stay updated on when enrollment begins.
