Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Health services research
  • Patient monitoring

Background:

  • Retrospective cohort study evaluating postoperative home monitoring (POHM) for elective hip and knee replacements.
  • Historical standard of care as a benchmark for comparison.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Compare POHM to standard care regarding cost per patient, readmission rates, emergency room visits, and mortality within 30 days.
  • Assess the economic and clinical outcomes of POHM in orthopedic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Individual matching of 54 POHM patients to 107 historical controls based on age, ASA class, and procedure.
  • Retrospective data analysis using descriptive statistics.

Main Results:

  • Average cost per case was Can $5826.32 (SD 1418.89) for POHM versus Can $9198.58 (SD 1513.59) for controls, a 38% reduction.
  • POHM group had 3.7% ER visits and 0% readmissions; control group had 7.5% ER visits and 1.9% readmissions.
  • No mortalities observed in either group within 30 days.

Conclusions:

  • POHM offers a cost-effective early discharge pathway for hip and knee procedures, reducing costs by 38%.
  • A multidisciplinary POHM team may effectively minimize postoperative readmissions and ER visits.
  • POHM demonstrates potential as a reliable alternative to traditional postoperative care.
