Use of a Recovery Messaging Application in Outpatient Total Joint Replacement Orthop. Nurs. (IF 0.7) Pub Date : 2023-03-01 Heather W. Melvin
Total joint replacement (TJR) is performed in an outpatient setting for cost containment and reimbursement changes. However, outpatient readmission to the hospital within 30–90 days postoperatively can be costly. Increases in readmission to the hospital less than 30 days postoperatively increase healthcare expenditure and can leave surgical centers without reimbursement. The purpose of the integrative
