Cost-effectiveness of a patient-reported outcome-based remote monitoring and alert intervention for early detection of critical recovery after joint replacement in Germany – Learnings for Switzerland

This is the first prospective, multi-center randomized controlled trial in the German-speaking region to evaluate the impact of PROM-based monitoring and alert systems on patient outcomes and healthcare costs after joint replacement.

We explored:

• Do PROM-based monitoring systems improve recovery outcomes?

• Are they cost-effective despite higher initial investments? Where do savings occur?

• What are key considerations for implementation?

• What is the potential for broader application, especially in chronic care?

• What can Switzerland learn from this study?
