Improving collaboration in the work-directed care for knee-replacement patients
Facilitating collaboration between the occupational physician and orthopaedic surgeon in the return-to-work guidance of knee-replacement patients, by design
Currently 30% of all knee prosthesis patients do not return to work after surgery. This is partially caused by the insufficient guidance of the patient's care providers. the most important care providers in this are the occupational physician and orthopaedic surgeon. The current collaboration is experienced by both the occupational physician and orthopaedic surgeon as impersonal, uninvolved and inefficient. This leaves the patients to feel insecure and uncertain before and during rehabilitation. The developed platform combines all information concerning the patient's function recovery and work reintegration in one overview available for care providers and patient. The platform stimulates direct communication and mutual support based on their separate areas of expertise.
