Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to learn more about using a home machine "Telemonitor" to find problems people with lung cancer may have after being discharged from the hospital and help them manage problems by contacting their healthcare provider.The study hypothesis is that patients with lung CA using short-term (14 days)home telemonitors, educated/coached by nurses on telemonitor data risks/implications for the first two weeks after hospital discharge, will be able to self-report their signs/ symptoms to the clinician resulting in decreased use of costly health care resources over 60 days.

- description
- In addition to routine care, the "HomMed Telemonitor" wireless telemonitoring system (intervention)will be used in the patient's home for 14 days to alert the clinical research nurse to changes in patients conditions in order to contact them to teach self-management. The Honeywell HomMed Genesis™ DM Remote Patient Care Monitor will be used to measure temperature, pulse, oxygen level,weight and blood pressure. The telemonitor will also ask for a YES or NO response to questions on symptoms such as difficulty breathing. Research nurses review the data daily and call the participant for 2 weeks, and continue to monitor outcomes for 2 months.
