Orthopedic clinics are becoming strained with clinical volume outpacing resources and personnel. Patient engagement platforms can help bridge the communication and engagement gaps between patients and their healthcare teams as total hip and knee arthroplasty transitions to the outpatient setting. These platforms provide a digital infrastructure that allows patients to participate in their healthcare journey while alleviating the burdens on clinic staff. Multiple forms of patient engagement platforms exist but typically fall into one of 3 groups: patient portals, mobile health applications, and chatbots. They all play an important role in enhancing postoperative rehabilitation, patient engagement, and patient care overall. This article explores the spectrum of available patient engagement platforms and examines their advantages, limitations, and documented benefits on clinical outcomes.
随着临床量超过资源和人员，骨科诊所正面临压力。随着全髋关节和膝关节置换术向门诊环境转变，患者参与平台有助于弥合患者与其医疗团队之间的沟通和参与差距。这些平台提供了一个数字基础设施，使患者能够参与其医疗过程，同时减轻诊所工作人员的负担。患者参与平台有多种形式，但通常可分为三类：患者门户网站、移动健康应用程序和聊天机器人。它们在加强术后康复、患者参与和整体患者护理方面都发挥着重要作用。本文探讨了可用患者参与平台的范围，并研究了它们的优势、局限性以及对临床结果的已记录益处。
