PROMIS, Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System
Brief summary
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) forms will be administered remotely to consecutive Orthopaedic patients presenting for new physician clinic visits. These patients will be sent either reminder e-mails, reminder digital patient portal (MyChart) messages, or no reminder messages at all concerning PROMIS form completion at timepoints prior to their respective clinic visits and PROMIS form completion rates will consequently be assessed. The primary objective of this study is to develop an understanding of whether pre-visit reminder messages influence PROMIS form completion in Orthopaedic patients.
Interventions
OTHERPre-Visit Messages
Patients in both experimental arms (E-mail and Digital Patient Portal MyChart) were sent pre-visit messages regarding PROMIS form completion via each respective modality at 1 week and also 3 days prior to their respective Orthopaedic clinic visits

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-visit PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal (MyChart) message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit | 1 week | Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion. |
| At-visit PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal (MyChart) message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit | 1 week | Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion. |
| Overall (Pre-visit and at-visit) PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal (MyChart) message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit | 1 week | Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time to pre-visit PROMIS form completion | 1 week | This is achieved by assessing the timepoint (in days) at which patients completed assigned PROMIS forms prior to their respective clinic visit in each of the designated study arms. |
| PROMIS form completion rates according to patient demographics | 1 week | This is achieved by assessing how PROMIS form completion for the enrolled study cohort as a whole (irrespective of arm assignment) varies according to patient race, age, gender, and sub-specialty of visit |
