Outcome data collection

All patients undergoing hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty surgery receive PROMs questionnaires. PROMs are health outcome measures using validated questionnaires completed by patients to ascertain perceptions of their health status, perceived level of disability, and quality of life without the interpretation, guidance or support from a Surgeon or other medical or Allied Health Professional.

Data is input into EOC Outcomes, a purpose built, outcomes data collection tool using iMedDoc (part of the Clanwilliam group).
