Patient Satisfaction in the Orthopedic Surgery Clinic

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Patients in the orthopedic surgery clinic routinely fill out a patient- reported outcome measurement survey prior to their visit. These scores are stored in Epic, but are not routinely reviewed with patients during their office visit. Study subjects will be randomly assigned into one of two groups: those who have their patient- reported outcome measurements reviewed with them by their physician, and those who will not have their patient-reported outcome measurements reviewed during the visit. Following the visit, patients will complete a patient satisfaction survey.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This patient satisfaction survey is a modified version of the Press-Ganey Outpatient Medical Practice 10-question survey. The patient satisfaction survey scores will then be compared between the two groups to quantify the effect of reviewing of patient-reported outcome measurements with patients on their satisfaction with the office visit
