About this study
In plain language
This study looks at problems after surgery and patient satisfaction with Mayo Clinic Florida's Care Hotel. It is for women who have a breast removed and a tissue expander placed to help rebuild the breast. It compares overnight care at the Care Hotel with a hospital stay or going home.
This study evaluates the postoperative outcomes of patients who are admitted to the Mayo Clinic Florida Care Hotel after mastectomy and tissue expander placement. At Mayo Clinic Florida, patients receiving low risk surgeries are often admitted to the hospital overnight for observation. A new model of delivering patient care was created at the Mayo Clinic Florida coined the "Care Hotel." This is a temporal, voluntary accommodation that offers patients a comfortable environment to receive nursing care before or after hospital treatment with in-person daytime monitoring and 24-hour virtual tele-monitoring in a hotel setting. This study evaluates post operative complications in patients who underwent mastectomy followed by tissue expander reconstruction and were admitted to the Care Hotel for overnight observation compared to the standard hospital admission and those who are discharged home.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
