About this study
Official title: Improvement of Patient Satisfaction and Overall Outcomes Using HealthLoop to Manage the Episode of Care for THA and TKA Bundles
The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness and results of orthopedic patients having access to a cell phone App called HealthLoop to utilize during the postoperative time period, compared to patients who have the usual postoperative management. The researchers want to investigate whether there any differences in outcomes and satisfaction in patients and providers.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness and results of orthopedic patients having access to a cell phone App called HealthLoop to utilize during the postoperative time period, compared to patients who have the usual postoperative management. The researchers want to investigate whether there any differences in outcomes and satisfaction in patients and providers.
HealthLoop is a mobile-device application (cell phone App) that allows physicians to monitor for signs and symptoms of potential adverse events, and communicate with patients during the postoperative recovery process. The platform enables doctors to identify patients at risk of decline in the follow up period. Patients are engaged through mobile and web-based surveys, reminders, and information personalized to the patient's specific condition or treatment plan. Alerts are sent to physicians about patients who are at risk of treatment failures, complications, or hospital readmissions. Physicians are informed if patients are trending toward an adverse outcome based on the patient's responses.
Patients who choose to participate in this Research Study will be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to one of two groups. Group A will receive standard, routine medical care. Group B will be asked to use the HealthLoop application on their mobile device during the post-operative period in addition to standard, routine medical care. Patients will not be able to choose which group they will be in.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HealthLoop mobile applicationDevice
Patients will utilize the HealthLoop mobile application on their mobile device during the post-operative period in addition to standard, routine medical care.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group A | No intervention | Group A will receive standard, routine medical care. If you are randomized to standard, routine medical care you will need to communicate with your Doctor and clinical care team through conventional methods such as over the phone or through MyChart. |
| Group B | Experimental | Group B will be asked to use the HealthLoop mobile application on their mobile device during the post-operative period in addition to standard, routine medical care. Patients randomized to use the Health Loop app will be able to communicate with their Doctor and clinical care team directly through the app. Patients will also participate in mobile and web-based surveys, receive reminders related to their healthcare, and receive information personalized to their treatment plan. Receives: Device: HealthLoop mobile application |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Reporting a Problem Across al PPE-15 Domains

Measured: 90 days after index surgery
Secondary outcomes (8)
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Patient Satisfaction
Satisfaction measurement tool measured on a scale from 0-100 mm. Where 0 = not satisfied and 100 = entirely satisfied.
Measured: 90 days after index surgery
Length of Hospital Stay
A count of the number of days the patient was admitted to the hospital after the index procedure prior to being discharged. Measured in days.
Measured: 90 days after index surgery
Number of Participants Discharged to Home
Was the patient routinely discharged to home? Reported as yes or no.
Measured: 90 days after index surgery
Number Participants Who Were Readmitted to the Hospital

Measured: 90 days after index surgery
Number Participants Who Visited the Emergency Department
A count of the number of emergency department visits related to the index procedure within 90 days after the index procedure.
Measured: 90 days after index surgery
Number Participants With 0, 1, 2, or 3+ Outpatient Visits
A count of the number of outpatient follow-up visits with the surgical team related to the index procedure within 90 days after the index procedure.
Measured: 90 days after index surgery
Number of Participants Who Made 0, 1, 2, or 3+ Telephone Calls to the Surgical Team
A count of the number of telephone calls with the surgical team related to the index procedure within 90 days after the index procedure.
Measured: 90 days after index surgery
