Study Details

Developing novel methods of patient communication is crucial in providing value-based care to orthopedic patients. Healthcare technology platforms have been developed to improve patient communication methods particularly for the administration of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, the majority of these interventions rely on web-based platforms that require patients to have computer access. Among American households earning less than $30,000 per year, only 59% have access to a desktop or laptop and just 47% have broadband internet at home compared to mobile phone penetration which is estimated at 95% of which 93% regularly use text messages. The use of phone messaging may be the most effective means to have patients complete PROMs. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is an NIH-funded, clinically validated method of tracking patient-reported outcomes to efficiently assess patient health status. PROMIS utilizes Item Response Theory (IRT) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to improve measurement precision and decrease survey time as compared to traditional PROMs. The purpose of this two-phase study is to utilize Memora Health's text-messaging platform to collect web-based PROMIS CAT surveys from patients (Phase 1) and use this information to right-size clinic visits (Phase 2).

Arms

• No Intervention: Phase 1
  Participants in phase 1 will be observed and data about their recovery time will be collected from which recovery curves will be calculated for Phase 2
• Experimental: Phase 2
  Participants in Phase 2 will have their clinic visits potentially revised based on the phase 1 recovery curves which may increase or decrease the number of clinic visits they receive based on the PROMs reported.

Primary Outcome Measure

Right-size clinic visits for specific orthopedic conditions [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
