Monitors if patient is readmitted to hospital and continues to monitor patient if readmitted (all questionnaires continue), this offers an integrated care between community and team in hospital teams (if admitted)
Electronic patient-reported outcomes through questionnaires are provided (POD2, 7, 14, 30) to assess symptoms, mobility, activities of daily living, pain/discomfort, depression, and quality of life post op; patient responses that are out of range are triaged and care team is notified
