Patients in Western Sydney who have contracted the coronavirus but are at low to medium risk of serious illness are being remotely monitored at home by GPs and hospital-based community health teams using CareMonitor's shared care software and biometric measurements such as temperature, oxygen saturation, blood pressure and heart rate.
COVID-19 positive patients presenting at Western Sydney Local Health District hospitals are being triaged using a risk assessment protocol in CareMonitor and based on the risk severity rating, are being referred to GPs to be managed in the community.
