Hip and Knee Surgery Digital Care Pathway

Digitally monitor the treatment and recovery of your hip and knee osteoarthritis patients from first assessment through to long term post-surgery follow-up.

Higher Quality Care At Your Fingertips

The success of hip and knee surgeries from the patients' perspective centre around alleviating pain, restoring physical function and mobility, improving quality of life, and ultimately being able to return to daily activities [1,2].

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are increasingly being integrated into routine orthopaedic care to evaluate the success of hip and knee surgeries, providing invaluable insights from the patient's perspective [3].

In hip and knee surgeries, the collection of PROMs provide a valuable mechanism to measure the benefits of these interventions from the patient's perspective, to promote more patient-centred care.

With our Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Surgery Pathway, you can now streamline the collection and analysis of patient-reported outcomes to support patient outcomes and recovery in their surgical journey.

How it works

 
Digital Care Pathway journey icon
 

ZEDOC has patient-facing and provider-facing apps that enable patient-reported outcomes to be simply collected and reported back to care teams in real-time.

For Patients

At each point in the outcomes schedule, ZEDOC automatically communicates with patients (via SMS or Email) on behalf of the care team, sending secure links to their digital PROMs.

ZEDOC’s low friction patient app allows people to report their condition on their own devices, from anywhere. Key features include:

  • No download required

  • Accessibility settings to improve usability

  • Interactive elements that go beyond surveys

For Providers

With a centralised Provider Portal, ZEDOC turns raw PROM data into meaningful insights via interactive and real-time clinical dashboards.

Set up is simple and fast, with our team able to help you organise licenses for the instruments and get your staff trained with the system.
Key features include:

  • Set up within one week (pending licensing)

  • Billing managed either monthly or yearly
