Electronic Reporting of Symptoms After Surgery

Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients Recovering From Ambulatory Cancer Surgery: Measuring Early Postoperative Symptoms

The purpose of this pilot study is to find out if patients are willing to self-report symptoms in the first 5 days following discharge, or when they leave the hospital after "ambulatory surgery" ("ambulatory surgery" is when the patient has surgery and then goes home within 24 hours).

Inclusion Criteria:

• The patients must be undergoing surgery for an indication tracked within the Gynecologic AXR program or have an expected postoperative discharge within 24 hours of surgery. These surgical procedures typically include: minimally invasive hysterectomy or radical hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomies [mentioned above], and minimally invasive staging procedures.
• The patient must have a phone number or an email address.
• The patient must be willing to self-report postoperative symptoms over an automated phone system or via an online platform.
• The patient must speak and read fluent English.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Non-English speaking patients
• Patients unwilling to provide contact information (email or phone number)
