Tele-monitoring of Post Join Arthroplasty Outcomes: A Feasibility Study

NCT04586296 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2023-08-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop an effective telephone mediated follow-up system to reduce the number of unplanned readmissions and emergency department visits after total joint arthroplasty. This will help reduce costs related to unnecessary visits to the hospital as well as catch complications earlier on. The investigators plan to accomplish this by performing a pilot study that will compare the outcomes of using an Interactive Voice Response system through phone call in addition to the standard follow-up protocol. The outcomes of this group will be compared to those receiving the standard of care follow-up protocol.
