Background: As the number of patients with orthopaedic conditions has risen continuously, hospital-based healthcare resources have become limited. Delivery of additional services is needed to adapt to this trend.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the current literature of computer- and telephone-delivered interventions on patient outcomes and resource utilization in patients with orthopaedic conditions.
Aims And Objectives: To explore how satisfied patients are with the process of treatment and care and to identify the experiences that patients perceive during elective primary fast-track total hip and knee arthroplasty journey.
Background: Greater satisfaction with care has predicted better quality of recovery, and patient experience has been positively associated with patient safety and clinical effectiveness. However, a little is still known about how patients experience their treatment and care.
Background: Fast-track and outpatient arthroplasty methodologies combine evidence-based clinical features with organizational optimization resulting in a streamlined pathway from admission to discharge and beyond. This qualitative study explored perceived problems of healthcare professionals during fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four surgeons, two anesthesiologists, ten nurses, and four physiotherapists.
Aims And Objectives: To examine the lived experience of healthcare professionals providing care for patients with total hip and knee arthroplasty and to understand healthcare professionals' proposed eHealth needs in elective primary fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty journey.
Background: There is little evidence in nursing literature to indicate how to develop new eHealth services to support surgical care journeys. Evidence is particularly lacking regarding the development of eHealth solutions.
