Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether patient-centered educational material delivered before and immediately after surgery can help improve outcomes for patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
Detailed Description
To analyze the impact of implementation of patient-centered educational material delivered the SeamlessMD® mobile application on perioperative Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) metric completion rates among patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. This is a non-interventional, prospective feasibility study. The planned study period will encompass adult patients (\>18 years) scheduled to undergo an elective colorectal surgery procedure at CMC-Main during the six-month period of December 2020 to May 2021. Patients enrolling in SeamlessMD will be prompted by the mobile app to electronically complete a validated quality-of-life assessment, the Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) evaluation, five days prior to surgery, three days postoperatively, and 30 days postoperatively.
