About this study
Official title: Randomized, Controlled Evaluation of Health Partner mHealth for Total Joint Replacement at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized, comparative, controlled study. Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center will enroll a total of 296 subjects (18 years or older) who are electing to have total knee or hip replacement surgery. Subjects will be randomized to either the treatment group (Health Partner alongside standard care) or the control group (standard care alone). Health Partner is a combination of a mobile application and a web-based portal. The primary objective is to compare care plan adherence (pre- and post-surgery) for Health Partner vs. control subjects. Secondary objectives include evaluating all-cause medical resource utilization, communication with health care provider, well-being, fear of surgery, confidence in recovery from surgery, sleep, and patient satisfaction for 90 days post-surgery.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Care Path Behavioral Assessment (CPBA), Pre-surgery
Survey assesses degree of subject adherence with pre-surgical activities
Measured: Early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery)
Care Path Behavioral Assessment (CPBA), Post-surgery
Survey assesses degree of subject adherence with post-surgical activities
Measured: Late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
Secondary outcomes (10)
Medical Resource Utilization
Seven questions to evaluate the number and duration of encounters with the healthcare system after surgery
Measured: Late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
Confidence in Recovery (1-item)
One question to gauge subject's confidence in their recovery after surgery on a five-point Likert scale
Measured: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery)
Fear of Surgery (1-item)
One question to gauge degree to which subject is fearful of surgery on a five-point Likert scale
Measured: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to the day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery)
Adherence (MOS Patient Adherence)
The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Patient Adherence is a 5-item questionnaire gauging subject self-reported ability to follow doctors' suggestions and the frequency of subject adherence
Measured: Early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery) and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
Well-being (MQLI)
The Multi-Cultural Quality of Life Index (MQLI) asks respondents to rank ten different areas of their life [self-care and independent functioning, occupational functioning, social-emotional support, community and service support, interpersonal functioning, global perception of quality of life, physical well-being, personal fulfillment, psychological/emotional well-being, and spiritual fulfillment] on a 10-point Likert scale

Measured: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
Sleep (MOS Sleep Scale)
The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale is a 12-item instrument intended to gauge extent and nature of sleep disturbances
Measured: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
Sleep (2-items)
Two questions to assess whether subjects had 7-9 hours of restful sleep per night
Measured: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
Communication (STAR-P)
The STAR-P is a 12-item instrument to gauge subject's perceptions of clinical communication
Measured: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
Communication (1-item)
One question to assess the frequency of subject's communication with their provider
Measured: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery)
