Background: Acute remote home monitoring of acutely ill patients with COVID-19 holds potential for early detection of deterioration and thus subsequentearly intervention that may prevent or mitigate progression to severe illness and need for respiratory support. Our aim was to describe common features of acute remote home monitoring programs for acutely ill patients with COVID-19 in the Netherlands.
Methods: We performed literature searches (both grey and academic) between 1st March 2020 and 1st March 2023 to identify Dutch acute remote home monitoring initiatives, excluding studies on early hospital discharge.
Background: Anecdotal reports suggest that missed diagnosis in general practice during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to a drop in life-threatening events (LTEs) detected in hospitals.
Objectives: To investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the accuracy of urgency allocation by telephone triage of patients with shortness of breath and/or chest discomfort in out-of-hours primary care (OHS-PC). Accuracy is defined as the correct allocation of high urgency to patients with LTEs and low urgency to those without.
Complex health challenges require professionals to operate across disciplines and to better connect with society. Here, we showcase a community-engaged and challenge-based educational model in which undergraduate students conduct transdisciplinary research on authentic complex biomedical problems. This concept reinforces translational medicine, human capital, and exemplifies synergy between education, research, healthcare, and society.

This study synthesises literature, to better understand how language affects triage interactions, aiming to improve these processes.
Design: We conducted a meta-aggregative review.
