Feasibility was measured by time to connection and proportion of TMVV completed; acceptability was measured by parent-reported surveys. Pre/post-discharge changes in CSE, FSM, and hospital utilization were assessed.<h4>Results</h4>64 TMVV were completed; 82 % of patients completed 1 TMVV; 54 % completed four TMVV. Median time to TMVV connection was 1 minute (IQR=2.5). Parents reported high acceptability of TMVV (mean 6.42; 1 -7 scale). CSE and FSM pre/post-discharge were similar for both groups; utilization declined in both groups post-discharge.<h4>Discussion</h4>Post-hospitalization TMVV for CMC were feasible and acceptable during hospital-to-home transitions.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0HumansAftercareHospitalizationPatient DischargeFeasibility StudiesPilot ProjectsTelemedicineChildJournal article
