Surgeons and health care systems have received a call to action in an effort curtail the current opioid epidemic.To (1) define natural history of demand after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), (2) consider how filling preoperative prescriptions affects ACLR, (3) evaluate effect additional procedures during ACLR patient age on postoperative demand.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.ACLRs performed Humana database between 2007 2014 were identified using Current Procedural...
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a pragmatic approach to help individuals decrease avoidable pain.
To diagnose hypertension, multiple blood pressure (BP) measurements are recommended. We randomized patients into three groups: EMR–only (patients recorded BP in an electronic medical record [EMR] web portal), EMR + reminders were sent text message to their the EMR), and bi–directional messaging a asking them respond with current BP). Subjects asked complete 14 measurements. Automated messages each patient reminder groups twice daily. Among 121 patients, those group reported full more often...
Mobile phone messaging software robots allow clinicians and healthcare systems to communicate with patients without the need for human intervention. The purpose of this study was (1) describe a method communicating postoperatively outside traditional setting by utilizing an automated mobile platform (2) evaluate first week postoperative pain opioid use after common ambulatory hand surgery procedures.The investigation prospective, multicenter patient-reported usage surgery. Inclusion criteria...
Background: Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, distal biceps tendon repair, and elbow arthroscopic surgery are common procedures performed in active patients. Hypothesis: We hypothesized (1) good to excellent correlation between Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) instruments traditional orthopaedic upper extremity patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures; (2) that PROMIS would demonstrate ceiling effects; (3) the physical function computer adaptive...
Abstract The authors examined whether using home BP measurements collected via a custom‐built bi‐directional‐texting platform incorporated into patients’ electronic medical records would lead to treatment calibration and improved management. Patients were randomized either the intervention group based on reminders reported bi‐directional texting, or control group, with measurement reporting standard practice (eg, phone, record portal) instructed return 7 morning evening measurements....
Abstract In the setting of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), this investigation sought to (i) describe patient-reported pain scores and opioid utilization in first 6 weeks following surgery (ii) evaluate effectiveness postoperative communication using a robotic mobile messaging platform. Subjects indicated for PAO were enrolled from young adult hip clinic. For 2 after surgery, subjects received daily messages inquiring about level on 0–10 scale number medication tablets they consumed previous...
Objectives: Surgeons and healthcare systems have received a call to action in an effort curtail the current opioid epidemic United States. Postoperative demand after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is not well understood. The purpose of this study was (1) define natural history ACLR performed with without concomitant procedures (2) evaluate preoperative as risk factor for postoperative demand. Methods: Arthroscopic ACLRs Humana Inc. database between 2007-2014 were identified...
