The COVID Monitor pilot project is a SWSPHN (PHN) commissioned model to support practice nurses in primary care to provide telehealth monitoring for COVID positive patients across South Western Sydney (Bankstown, Camden, Campbelltown, Fairfield, Liverpool, Wollondilly and Wingecarribee LGAs) as part of PHNs COVID-19 Response. The project also includes following up patients in a Patient Reported Measures trial in relation to Long COVID using the Agency of Clinical Innovation’s HOPE platform. The project was initially commissioned to run for 6 months with 5 Keystone practices participating and proceeded to be extended for another 6 months with 4 participating practices running until April 2023.
