Accuracy of Internet-Based Patient Self-Report of Postdischarge Health Care Utilization and Complications Following Orthopedic Procedures: Observational Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The accuracy of patient self-report of health care utilization and complications has yet to be determined. If patients are accurate and engaged self-reporters, collecting this information in a manner that is temporally proximate to the health care utilization events themselves may prove valuable to health care organizations undertaking quality improvement initiatives for which such data are often unavailable.

Objective

The objective of this study was to measure the accuracy of patient self-report of health care utilization and complications in the 90 days following orthopedic procedures using an automated digital patient engagement platform.

Methods

We conducted a multicenter real-world observational cohort study across 10 orthopedic practices in California
