Orthopedic surgeries, such as total joint arthroplasties, are complex procedures requiring preoperative optimization of patients and planning for extensive recoveries. As with many medical procedures, there is often a gap between existing patient knowledge and a baseline functional knowledge required for a safe postoperative patient recovery. It is the responsibility of the healthcare team, including nurse practitioners, to ensure their patients understand the nature of the procedure and recovery from it through preoperative education. This project explored efficacy of a specific patient education delivery system in this total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patient population.
