Summary

The proposed VIDEO randomized trial will help inform clinical practice regarding the utility and perceived value of videoconferencing for postoperative care of urogynecologic patients by comparing patient satisfaction with virtual video visits and traditional in-office visits after pelvic organ prolapse and/or anti-incontinence surgery. Patient satisfaction will be measured by the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-18 at the 6-week postoperative visit. The investigators hypothesize that patient satisfaction with the virtual postoperative visit will be non-inferior to an in-office visit. The study will secondarily investigate other important components of healthcare quality, including safety and clinical outcomes, by comparing postoperative healthcare resource utilization and adverse events within 12 weeks after urogynecologic surgery. Healthcare resource utilization as measured by patient-initiated phone calls, unscheduled in-person/virtual office visits, emergency room or urgent care visits, and inpatient readmissions within 6 weeks following surgery and within 12 weeks following surgery. The study also aims to evaluate patient and provider preferences/attitudes toward in-office versus virtual-video postoperative visits.

Conditions

  • Satisfaction, Patient

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual Visit

Patients randomized to this arm will be scheduled for and follow up with the surgeon or an advanced practice provider via a virtual visit using videoconference technology at 6 weeks after the anticipated date of surgery. If the surgery were to be rescheduled to a future date, the postoperative visit will be moved accordingly to ensure follow-up occurs at the 6-week postoperative period.

OTHER

Office Visit

Patients randomized to this arm will be scheduled for and follow up with the surgeon or an advanced practice provider via an in-office visit at 6 weeks after the planned date of surgery. If the surgery were to be rescheduled to a future date, the postoperative visit will be moved accordingly to ensure follow-up occurs at the 6-week postoperative period.
