[Early hospital discharge for patients with COVID-19: evaluation of the transmural healthcare program in Amsterdam].

Objective: Evaluation of an early discharge program for COVID-19-patients who still required additional oxygen support, supervised by their own general practitioner (GP) in a home setting. We evaluated safety and gathered experiences from patients, caregivers and GPs.

Design: Cohort study (prospective and retrospective inclusion) METHOD: Adult COVID-19-patients admitted to one of the three Amsterdam hospitals, the Netherlands, were eligible when clinically stable for at least 48 hours, with a minimum oxygen saturation of 94% and a maximum of 3 l/min oxygen support.
