Joint Replacement Progress Survey

Learn more about the Patient Reported Outcome Measures survey (PROMs) that tracks your progress before and after a joint replacement.

When you have a hip or knee replacement at Mount Sinai Hospital, we ask you to complete a survey called the Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) survey. This survey helps your health-care team track how you are feeling after your elective hip or knee surgery.

The survey asks about your level of pain, how well you manage in daily life, your overall quality of life and the care you received.

About the PROMs survey

You will be asked to complete the survey at three key times to track your progress:

Within two months before surgery
Three to five months after surgery
Nine to 15 months after surgery

The survey is available to complete either at home or in the clinic. It takes about five minutes to complete.

At home, complete the survey on a computer, tablet or smartphone by visiting this Ontario Health web page. Enter your health card (OHIP) number (no letters, no spaces) OR medical record number (MRN) to access the survey.

In the clinic, we will ask you to complete the survey on a tablet or using paper forms.

Why you should complete the surveys

Completing the survey is important because your answers track how you are feeling both before and after surgery. This helps your care team:

Monitor how you are healing
Learn valuable insights about the healing process
Improve the quality of care for future patients

Your privacy is important to us

The information you give through the PROMs survey is collected and stored in a system called Integrated Symptom Assessment and Collection (ISAAC). ISAAC is a secure web-based electronic platform owned by Ontario Health. Only clinical staff directly involved in your care and ISAAC administrators can access the responses from your personal survey.
We use an anonymous version of the information to report patient-reported outcome trends to the Ministry of Health. Your information is combined with the information of other patients treated in our clinic to see if there are any trends, for the purpose of quality control and for provincial reporting.
