The flow diagram illustrates the retrospective selection of the COVID-19 home monitoring program (HMP) cohort and the control cohort. Propensity weighting was performed to minimize differences, so our sample was limited to individuals with the data elements needed for the weighting (see S1 Data for complete unweighted and weighted sample characteristics). Coefficients of the covariates were used to weight the regression model used to calculate risk of outpatient and primary care utilization and emergency department use. Final examination of COVID-19 positivity came from electronic health records as did patient primary preferred language. Of note, there were multiple primary languages in sample, which is why the breakdown of English and Spanish speaking patients do not sum to the total N for the HMP and standard care groups.
