Abstract:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently introduced mandatory reporting of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following primary, elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures. This article explores the implications and implementation challenges of this policy shift in the field of orthopaedic surgery. With a review of the existing literature, we analyze the potential benefits and limitations of PROs, discuss the role of CMS in health-care quality improvement initiatives, explain the predicted difficulties in the successful implementation of this new mandate, and provide recommendations for the successful integration of the reporting of PROs in clinical practice.
