- Abstract
This article discusses a pilot project that aimed to test the feasibility of using automated text messaging to collect patient-reported outcomes related to pain interference after total joint arthroplasty in veterans. The study utilized a short message service text messaging system to collect data from patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The results showed that the response rate to the text messages was high during the early postoperative period but decreased over time. The study suggests that automated daily text messaging may not be a reliable method for collecting patient-reported outcomes in routine clinical care, and further research is needed to identify the most acceptable frequency and mode of contact for patients.
