KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Current systems for postoperative monitoring in surgical populations on hospital wards and at home are inadequate, with infrequent vital signs monitoring contributing to thousands of cases of undetected or delayed detection of hemodynamic compromise.
- Remote automated monitoring (RAM), a subcomponent of telemedicine, is improving with technological advances that enable data integration and synthesis, as well as directed frontline nurse response, especially in surgical wards and at home.
- This article reviewed work to date on postoperative RAM on surgical wards and strategies to advance this field.
