Getting the Most out of Patient Reported Outcomes

The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our host Kimberly K. Tucker, MD welcomed our guests Antonia F. Chen, MD, MBA and Andrew Engh, MD to discuss Patient Reported Outcomes and what this means for you now that Medicare has made them a requirement in quality benchmarks.

In this podcast, we review two award-winning studies. The first study dives into the various ways to optimize patient reported outcome collection within health systems. Dr. Chen shares what she feels is the most important change hospitals should focus on to make patient reported outcome collection both clinically meaningful and operational sustainable.

The other award-winning paper discusses paper vs. electronic data capture in knee arthroplasty. Learn if compared to paper forms, does electronic data collection increase follow-up rates or improve data quality at lower costs. I think you’ll find this recording of JOA: The Cut to be filled with lots of valuable nuggets that can possibly shape and improve your practice.
