Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a patient-directed postoperative care program using short educational videos can improve patient satisfaction and reduce healthcare resource utilization in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release CTR The main questions it aims to answer are
Will patients in the video-based care program be more satisfied with their postoperative care Will this approach reduce healthcare resource use and the burden on patients without increasing complication rates Researchers will compare the video-based patient-directed care group to the standard in-person follow-up group to see if patient satisfaction and resource use differ while maintaining similar outcomes and complication rates
Participants will
Watch three short educational videos 60 seconds each on postoperative care Schedule a suture removal appointment with a nurse at their convenience if needed
Continue to have access to their provider through traditional methods such as phone EMR or urgent in-person visits

Detailed Description:
Carpal tunnel release CTR is a commonly performed procedure with predictable outcomes and a low complication rate Traditionally patients are scheduled for two postoperative follow-up visits-one at two weeks and another at six weeks However these routine visits rarely lead to a change in patient management and often impose logistical and financial burdens on patients particularly for those living in rural areas who must travel long distances to their healthcare providers clinic
This study proposes an alternative postoperative care model for CTR patients that leverages short educational videos and allows patients to manage their recovery more independently The experimental group in the study will receive three brief 60 seconds each educational videos after surgery These videos will cover key aspects of postoperative care including wound management and when to seek medical attention Unlike the traditional model patients in this group will not have scheduled in-person or virtual follow-up visits unless they require them All patients in the experimental group will still have access to their healthcare provider through standard communication channels such as
Calling the office for advice or concerns Sending secure messages through the electronic medical record EMR system Attending urgent in-person visits if necessary If nonabsorbable sutures are used during surgery patients in the experimental group will schedule an appointment for suture removal with a nurse at their convenience usually 10-14 days post-surgery
The primary goal of the study is to determine whether this patient-directed care model which utilizes educational videos can improve patient satisfaction and reduce the use of healthcare resources without compromising care quality or increasing complication rates
Specific Aim The study aims to evaluate whether a patient-directed postoperative care program for CTR can
Improve patient satisfaction Reduce healthcare resource utilization Lessen the burden of care eg fewer missed workdays and less time spent on healthcare-related activities
Maintain comparable patient-reported outcomes complication rates and the number of urgent visits as those observed in traditional in-person follow-up care
Hypotheses
Patients who receive the educational videos will report higher satisfaction with their care
These patients will miss fewer days of work and spend less time on health-related activities
The experimental group will consume fewer healthcare resources eg fewer clinic visits
Patient-reported outcomes complication rates and urgent visits will be similar between the experimental and standard in-person care groups
Significance The results of this study have the potential to transform and enhance postoperative care for patients undergoing CTR and other minor surgical procedures By reducing the need for routine in-person visits the proposed care model can help alleviate the burden on patients particularly those from rural areas Additionally reducing clinic utilization for straightforward postoperative cases could increase the availability of clinic appointments for more complex cases thereby improving overall healthcare system efficiency This patient-directed model could also be expanded to other surgical and nonsurgical conditions empowering patients to take a more active role in their recovery while maintaining high standards of care
