Brief Summary:
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized, comparative, controlled study. Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center will enroll a total of 296 subjects (18 years or older) who are electing to have total knee or hip replacement surgery. Subjects will be randomized to either the treatment group (Health Partner alongside standard care) or the control group (standard care alone). Health Partner is a combination of a mobile application and a web-based portal. The primary objective is to compare care plan adherence (pre- and post-surgery) for Health Partner vs. control subjects. Secondary objectives include evaluating all-cause medical resource utilization, communication with health care provider, well-being, fear of surgery, confidence in recovery from surgery, sleep, and patient satisfaction for 90 days post-surgery.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Care Path Behavioral Assessment (CPBA), Pre-surgery [ Time Frame: Early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery) ]
    Survey assesses degree of subject adherence with pre-surgical activities

  2. Care Path Behavioral Assessment (CPBA), Post-surgery [ Time Frame: Late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    Survey assesses degree of subject adherence with post-surgical activities


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Medical Resource Utilization [ Time Frame: Late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    Seven questions to evaluate the number and duration of encounters with the healthcare system after surgery

  2. Confidence in Recovery (1-item) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery) ]
    One question to gauge subject's confidence in their recovery after surgery on a five-point Likert scale

  3. Fear of Surgery (1-item) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to the day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery) ]
    One question to gauge degree to which subject is fearful of surgery on a five-point Likert scale

  4. Adherence (MOS Patient Adherence) [ Time Frame: Early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery) and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Patient Adherence is a 5-item questionnaire gauging subject self-reported ability to follow doctors' suggestions and the frequency of subject adherence

  5. Well-being (MQLI) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    The Multi-Cultural Quality of Life Index (MQLI) asks respondents to rank ten different areas of their life [self-care and independent functioning, occupational functioning, social-emotional support, community and service support, interpersonal functioning, global perception of quality of life, physical well-being, personal fulfillment, psychological/emotional well-being, and spiritual fulfillment] on a 10-point Likert scale

  6. Well-being (PHCS-WB) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    The Public Health Surveillance Well-Being Scale (PHCS-WB) comprises 10-items gauging self-reported mental, physical, and social components of well-being

  7. Sleep (MOS Sleep Scale) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale is a 12-item instrument intended to gauge extent and nature of sleep disturbances

  8. Sleep (2-items) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    Two questions to assess whether subjects had 7-9 hours of restful sleep per night

  9. Communication (STAR-P) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    The STAR-P is a 12-item instrument to gauge subject's perceptions of clinical communication

  10. Communication (1-item) [ Time Frame: Baseline (-6 to -3 weeks pre-surgery), pre-operative (-3 weeks to day before surgery), early post-operative (day after surgery to 6 weeks post-surgery), and late post-operative (11-13 weeks post-surgery) ]
    One question to assess the frequency of subject's communication with their provider
