Clinical Trial Summary

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) forms will be administered remotely to consecutive Orthopaedic patients presenting for new physician clinic visits. These patients will be sent either reminder e-mails, reminder digital patient portal ("MyChart") messages, or no reminder messages at all concerning PROMIS form completion at timepoints prior to their respective clinic visits and PROMIS form completion rates will consequently be assessed. The primary objective of this study is to develop an understanding of whether pre-visit reminder messages influence PROMIS form completion in Orthopaedic patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pre-visit PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal ("MyChart") message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit	Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion.	1 week
Primary	At-visit PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal ("MyChart") message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit	Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion.	1 week
Primary	Overall (Pre-visit and at-visit) PROMIS completion rates in orthopaedic patients receiving reminder e-mails, digital patient portal ("MyChart") message reminders, or no messages prior to scheduled clinic visit	Investigators will assess whether reminder messages prior to clinic visit have an impact on both remote pre-visit and overall PROMIS form completion rates in orthopaedic patients. Patients completing a single assigned PROMIS form will be regarded as having PROMIS completion.	1 week
Secondary	Time to pre-visit PROMIS form completion	This is achieved by assessing the timepoint (in days) at which patients completed assigned PROMIS forms prior to their respective clinic visit in each of the designated study arms.	1 week
Secondary	PROMIS form completion rates according to patient demographics	This is achieved by assessing how PROMIS form completion for the enrolled study cohort as a whole (irrespective of arm assignment) varies according to patient race, age, gender, and sub-specialty of visit	1 week
