The Joint Academy at Methodist Dallas offers "students" who are
scheduled for hip or knee replacement surgery, a free educational program
to prepare them both mentally and physically for surgery. The program
was designed to educate, guide, and connect patients in order to manage
expectations and provide the best possible experience for surgery and recovery.
The program,
VOX OrthoCare, coordinates the physician’s care instructions with an easy-to-navigate,
web-based program that guides and tracks patients from diagnosis to recovery.
This engaging program teaches patients how to be an active partner in
their own care by providing the right information at the right time and
by keeping them connected throughout their surgery and recovery pathway.
Patients will receive easy-to-navigate, education and videos in advance
of surgery to prepare and better understand their procedure. The program
can be completed at your own pace, at home, with a family or friend, and
will help to understand what will happen before, during, and after surgery.
Following surgery, patients and their families receive action steps to
aid in recovery, alerts to ensure compliance, and progress reports and
messaging to stay connected with the physician and care team.
