Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a text-messaging platform can be used to effectively collect patient-reported outcome measures in order to right-size clinic visits.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for orthopedic patients with specific conditions like lumbar fusion, ACL reconstruction, or rotator cuff repair. Participants must have a personal cell phone with internet and speak English primarily. It's not for incarcerated individuals, those who can't read well, or without a cell phone.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the use of Memora Health's text-messaging platform to collect patient-reported outcomes via PROMIS CAT surveys and then tailor clinic visits accordingly. The goal is to improve communication and care efficiency in two phases.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves using a text-messaging platform rather than medication or invasive procedures, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience issues related to privacy concerns or data usage.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Phase 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in Phase 2 will have their clinic visits potentially revised based on the phase 1 recovery curves which may increase or decrease the number of clinic visits they receive based on the PROMs reported.

Group II: Phase 1Active Control1 Intervention

Participants in phase 1 will be observed and data about their recovery time will be collected from which recovery curves will be calculated for Phase 2
