A smart decision: smartphone use for operative data collection in arthroscopic shoulder instability surgery.

Objective: This study tested validity, accuracy, and efficiency of the Orthopaedic Minimal Data Set Episode of Care (OME) compared with traditional operative report in arthroscopic surgery for shoulder instability. As of November 2017, OME had successfully captured baseline data on 97% of 18 700 eligible cases.

Materials And Methods: This study analyzes 100 cases entered into OME through smartphones by 12 surgeons at an institution from February to October 2015.
