REST-PSLL: Re-engineering Surgical Recovery and Transitions Using Technology Patient Safety Learning Laboratory

Recruiting

We are conducting this research to: better understand barriers and facilitators of successful at-home care after an emergency laparotomy (EL) surgical procedure, create technology solutions for EL patient recovery tools to support at-home care and evaluate the success of the new at-home care tools. Participation includes a video-recorded or audio-recorded interview, either in person or virtual, with a study team member. The interview questions will ask about various topics related to the post-surgical experience. Prior to the interview, participants will also be asked to complete a 30-minute survey to help the study team prepare for the interview. Additionally, if a participant is having ongoing post surgery complications, they may be invited to opt-in to a second 60-minute interview.
