Joint Replacement Recovery

From Physician discovery, self-scheduling, appointment reminders to pre, during, postoperative care, and recovery—digitization and automation plays a transformative role in elevating patient experiences, reducing readmissions, promoting patient loyalty and boosting clinical, operational and financial outcomes. Here’s a deep dive into industry best practices, proven strategies and solutions on how healthcare systems can harness the capabilities of digital to transform and accelerate joint replacement recovery programs.

From the initial screening and assessment, evaluation (pre/post ortho consult), testing (MRI), diagnosis to treatment and follow-up (Discharge care, PSAT/PRO), joint replacement surgeries involve a complex network of processes and workflows that are required to work together to seamlessly drive health outcomes and speed up the recovery process.

Digital orthopedic patient engagement solutions are strategically designed to streamline care pathways and simplify joint replacement recovery for patients as well as Physicians and Hospitals. Automated care coordination platforms like RippleCare are equipped with comprehensive features that can be customized to deliver personalized and holistic joint replacement and musculoskeletal care journeys at scale.

The patient management platform captures massive volumes of data gathered from critical sources like Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO), Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD), wearables and other IoT-enabled devices. These health data are structured and streamlined to provide actionable insights that optimize surgical outcomes, boost patient engagement, loyalty and Patient Satisfaction Index (PSI), and ultimately simplify healthcare experiences for orthopedic healthcare systems and patients.

From patient scheduling, appointment reminders, patient referrals, and referral management to consent forms management, value-based care, health screenings, telehealth, pre- & post-care messaging, multilingual virtual healthcare solutions, Remote Patient Monitoring, pre, during and post-surgical care coordination and recovery—automated patient engagement solutions for joint replacement programs can efficiently streamline the entire care journey for a frictionless consumer experience throughout the episodes of care.
