Background

There is significant variation and inconsistencies in the current advice and information delivered to patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR). The aim of this study was to assess a locally developed web-based electronic resource system for patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR) surgery to see if this improves and standardises the content, structure, and delivery of information delivered to patients prior to and after surgery.

Patients/Materials and Methods

Prospective study with patients recruited in clinic when listed for THR surgery. Patients are emailed login details for the web based electronic resource system (GoWellHealth). The platform delivers content in a time-lined fashion and is individualised to the patient. Data gathered includes the number of patients registering to use this system, their engagement and use of the resources, and results from forms and questionnaires administered.
