Achieving Satisfaction with Patient-Reported Outcomes: PROMS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rapid Recovery in Total Joint Arthroplasty

Abstract

The term “outpatient total joints” has been used with increasing frequency in the last few years. As healthcare institutions and insurance companies attempt to control reimbursement, surgery centers and hospitals are incentivized for patients to receive outpatient total joint arthroplasty. This has resulted in developments in treatment protocols aimed at minimizing complications, infection, delay, and cost, while maximizing efficiency, outcomes, and patient satisfaction. As surgery centers across the nation have emphasized rapid recovery after surgery, procedure-driven checklists are utilized to streamline pre- and postoperative protocols. This certainly puts pressure on healthcare providers to place patient satisfaction at the forefront of institutional developments and improvements. Patient satisfaction is a qualitative metric and is measured through various questionnaires and forms for objective or quantitative data. Patient-reported outcome measures are tools that the healthcare provider can use to assess patient satisfaction, barriers to satisfaction, and ways to improve overall fulfillment after total joint arthroplasty. This chapter discusses the various modalities of patient-reported outcome measures and how they can be used to improve and establish patient satisfaction in outpatient total joint arthroplasty.
