Patient Satisfaction With Virtual Post Operative Visits: Hip Arthroscopy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a prospective, randomized study designed to evaluate the effects of different initial postoperative follow-up modalities. Given the nature of the study, it is not possible for either the surgeons or the subjects to be blinded. Patients will be assigned to either group based on the last digit of their medical record number (MRN). Patients with an even-ending medical record number will be randomized to virtual visit/telemedicine, while patients with an odd-ending medical record number will be randomized to the office visit.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study aims to evaluate the differences between two forms of postoperative follow-up with respect to patient satisfaction. The primary outcome will be patient satisfaction with their surgeon and with their overall experience. Following their second postoperative visit, the subjects will complete one electronic survey. The survey is designed to assess subject's overall satisfaction and satisfaction with their surgery. This survey is standardized and will be used by both groups.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Active Comparator: Telemedicine Post Op<br>Patients with an even-ending medical record number (0,2,4,6,8) will be randomized to virtual visit/telemedicine. This will be done by using Epic and MyChart-integrated telemedicine functionality for video visits with the Principal Investigator's patients. This is considered standard of care. | Other: virtual doctor visit<br>* interactive live-video feed at home through EPIC<br>|
| Active Comparator: In-Office Post Op<br>Patients with an odd-ending medical record number (1,3,5,7,9) will be randomized to the office visit. | Other: Standard care doctor's visit<br>* In person visit as per standard of care<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in patient satisfaction | Participant satisfaction will be measured by a electronic survey . At the conclusion of the in-person or virtual visit, participants will be provided instructions how to access the survey questions through the QR code if in-person and through a secure link if at home via telemedicine through EPIC. | 3 month follow up visit |
