Orthopedic ailments are increasing and are seen in the upper age group say people in their 60's. The research has found that medical interventions are much more required for orthopedic patients. The expenditure for orthopedics is increasing due to the aging population in the US.
It is astonishing that 86.9 percent of patients in the US are readmitted after the orthopedic surgery. The expenditure on orthopedics recorded to be 20 to 30 percent of total health care expenditure.
The orthopedic patients are mostly readmitted because of lack of communication once they are discharged from the hospitals. The care delivery is interrupted and couldn't be monitored as there is no streamline communication between them.
The orthopedic surgeons couldn't communicate the risk, instructions, and procedures after discharge which is one of the major challenges. Also, patients have a chance of receiving inadequate instructions for successful recovery due to lack of a proper streamline communication.
Family members need to be educated with post-discharge instructions and they face a challenge if the existing medications are not curing the patient. This has to be rectified in order to ensure there is a streamline communication.
The healthcare rising cost is increasing as the hospital readmission of orthopedic patients are more. This impacts the healthcare providers and payers to use a patient engagement platform so that providers can monitor the recovery of patients. This can help the provider to give instructions to the patients for a healthy recovery and keep themselves embraced.
Also, some researches say that patients who lack in knowledge, try to manage their own care after orthopedic surgery. The need for proper orthopedic practice management is thus lost in half way which led to the majority of readmissions and heathcare rising cost.
