Purpose
The RRS project is a Randomized Clinical Trial documenting the effect of Remote Rehabilitation and Support via a telemedicine solution for patients undergoing an optimized fast-track orthopedic surgery procedure with the implementation of a total hip arthroplasty. With the telemedicine solution the investigators will support and try to motivate the patient to be discharged after only one day of hospitalization.

Active Comparator: Telemedicine
RRS via telemedicine. By developing the concept of Remote Rehabilitation Support (RRS) the investigators will try to bring preoperative education of the patient, dissemination of information and postoperative support to a new level.

Procedure: remote rehabilitation support
An information technology solution containing RRS. The way it supports,, informs and educates the patient and support person, provides an opportunity for communication between the patient and the surgeons, physiotherapists and nurses at the hospital.

Detailed Description:
This PhD study evaluates the effect of an information technology solution containing RRS. The way it supports, informs and educates the patient and support person, provides an opportunity for communication between the patient and the surgeons, physiotherapists and nurses at the hospital.
The parameters evaluated will be: Length of stay, health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL), functional outcome, pain, anxiety, complications and an evaluation of the socio-economic effect.
The aim of the study generates the following hypotheses and focus for publication
- Length of stay is lower for the intervention group compared to the control group.
- The average quality of life measured with EQ-5D will either be the same or higher when comparing the intervention group with the control group.
- Compared to the control group the functional outcome of the intervention group measured with Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) will be the same or better.
- Complications measured as luxations, infections, and reoperations are the same or lower in the intervention group compared to the control group.
- There will be a correlation between patients with the highest level of psychological problems and symptoms of psychopathology measured with Symptom Checklist-90-R, and the postoperative outcome measured with EQ5D, anxiety and TUG.
- There will be a correlation between support persons with the highest level of psychological problems and symptoms of psychopathology measured with Symptom Checklist-90-R, and the postoperative outcome measured with EQ5D, anxiety and TUG for the patient they are related to.
- The socio-economic costs will be lower for the intervention group compared to the control group based on self reported data and data collected from official databases. This study will be conducted as a piggy back to the RCT.
