Pre-visit Digital Messaging Improves Patient Reported Outcome Measure Participation Prior to the Orthopedic Ambulatory Visit
- Conditions
- Orthopedic Disorder
- Interventions
- Other: Pre-Visit Messages
- Registration Number
- NCT04983641
- Lead Sponsor
- Henry Ford Health System
- Brief Summary
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) forms will be administered remotely to consecutive Orthopaedic patients presenting for new physician clinic visits. These patients will be sent either reminder e-mails, reminder digital patient portal ("MyChart") messages, or no reminder messages at all concerning PROMIS form completion at timepoints prior to their respective clinic visits and PROMIS form completion rates will consequently be assessed. The primary objective of this study is to develop an understanding of whether pre-visit reminder messages influence PROMIS form completion in Orthopaedic patients.

Group Intervention Description Digital Patient Portal "MyChart" Arm Pre-Visit Messages o Patients were assigned PROMIS forms in the domains of Depression (PROMIS-D) and Pain Interference (PROMIS-PI) in addition to Upper Extremity Function (PROMIS-UE) and/or Physical Function (PROMIS-PF). These forms were available for remote completion in each respective patient's MyChart portal at 1 week prior to their clinic appointment. Patient's in this arm were sent an initial reminder MyChart message at 1 week prior to their scheduled clinic visit regarding PROMIS form completion. If patients did not fill out PROMIS forms by 3 days prior to their visit, they were sent a second reminder MyChart message. E-mail Arm Pre-Visit Messages o Patients were assigned PROMIS forms in the domains of Depression (PROMIS-D) and Pain Interference (PROMIS-PI) in addition to Upper Extremity Function (PROMIS-UE) and/or Physical Function (PROMIS-PF). These forms were available for remote completion in each respective patient's MyChart portal at 1 week prior to their clinic appointment. Patients in this arm were sent an initial reminder e-mail message at 1 week prior to their scheduled clinic visit regarding PROMIS form completion. If patient's did not fill out PROMIS forms by 3 days prior to their visit, they were sent a second reminder e-mail message.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method At-visit PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal ("MyChart") message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit 1 week Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion.
Pre-visit PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal ("MyChart") message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit 1 week Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion.
Overall (Pre-visit and at-visit) PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal ("MyChart") message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit 1 week Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PROMIS form completion rates according to patient demographics 1 week This is achieved by assessing how PROMIS form completion for the enrolled study cohort as a whole (irrespective of arm assignment) varies according to patient race, age, gender, and sub-specialty of visit
Time to pre-visit PROMIS form completion 1 week This is achieved by assessing the timepoint (in days) at which patients completed assigned PROMIS forms prior to their respective clinic visit in each of the designated study arms.
