NCT03961711 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Pro00087297
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 98

• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate patient perspective on telemedicine used in 3 week post operative visits for knee and hip arthroplasty. It is hypothesized that patient satisfaction with telemedicine follow-up is equal to patient satisfaction with in-office followup. Patient satisfaction will be assessed at the 3-week and 9-week post-operative timepoints.

Conditions

Knee Osteoarthritis; Hip Osteoarthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Patient reported satisfaction

  Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) will be used to assess patient satisfaction of the 3 week encounter both at 3 and 9 weeks post-operatively. The scale of the survey ranges from 8-32, with 32 being the best score and 8 being the worst. The higher a patient scores, the more satisfied the patient is with the care provided.

  9 weeks

Other Outcomes (4)

• Patient reported pain level

  9 weeks

• Adverse Events

  9 weeks

• Time spent during 3-week post-operative encounter

  3 weeks

Study Arms (2)
