The hip arthroplasty module is one of five modules in the PhDx® Orthopaedic application. It includes the tools necessary for clinicians to track and report outcomes on hip arthroplasty procedures. Designed with a physician’s needs in mind, the hip arthroplasty module tracks patient, clinical, functional status, patient satisfaction, return to work, and home program compliance data sets.

The following are survey instruments included in the module:

• Patient Information: Patient demographic information, baseline pain measurement and pain intensity values.
• Initial Clinical Assessment: Questions regarding the clinical condition-range of motion, weight bearing status, neuropathies, pain medication, and medical history of the patient.
• SF12v2™: A survey to measure eight categories of physical and emotional health, which indicate the impact poor health and pain have on physical and social activities.
• Harris Hip Score: Rates the hip in the areas of pain, function, absence of deformity, and range of motion.
• Surgical Summary: Collects data regarding the surgical procedure performed and the cost driver information. Also includes prosthesis information and radiographic report on implant.
• Follow-up Clinical Assessment: Collects information of the patient’s clinical condition, including rage of motion, weight bearing status, neuropathies, pain medications, any post-op complications, and implant component position and alignment at the time of visit.
• Patient Satisfaction: Reports patient satisfaction with the care received at the facility where the surgery was performed.
• Patient Satisfaction with Results: Collects information regarding the patient’s satisfaction with results of the surgery, the patient pain, intensity data, and return to work information.
