Home Oxygen and Monitoring for COVID-19 Patients: A Multidisciplinary Team Approach.

Introduction: During the initial COVID-19 pandemic peak, Stamford Hospital implemented a home oxygen program (HOP) to create a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary outpatient initiative without sacrificing a safe discharge. Primary care physicians monitored program participants, whose only indication for remaining admitted was an oxygen requirement. We retrospectively examined participant co-morbidities and outcomes, including death and readmission rates to evaluate HOP safety.

We designed a resident-supervised rotation for medical students in our department while providing a forum for residents to improve their teaching skills.
