Joint Replacement Progress Survey
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
It takes about five minutes to complete the PROMs survey.
You will be asked to complete the survey at three key times to track your progress:
- Within two months before surgery (in the Pre-Admissions Unit)
- Three to five months after surgery (via a secure email link or over the phone with a member of our team)
- Nine to 15 months after surgery (via a secure email link or over the phone with a member of our team)
The survey is available to complete either at home or in the clinic. It takes about five minutes to complete.
To complete the survey online, please provide your email on the consent form you receive from your surgeon’s office.
You will then receive email reminders to complete the survey from our Division of Orthopedics at the post-operative reporting times outlined above. You will only receive emails when it is time to complete your PROMs.
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 provide in your PROMs survey is de-identified and used for quality improvement and reporting purposes.
At Mount Sinai Hospital, your care team uses this information to track your recovery and progress.
Provincially, data is sent to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) and the Canadian Joint Replacement Registry to identify trends across clinics and improve patient care.
