ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Patient Outcomes Collection: How Can We Do Better?", is focused on improving the way we collect feedback from patients who have shoulder pain, particularly those scheduled for surgery. The researchers want to find better ways to encourage patients to complete surveys about their pain and recovery, which can help doctors provide better care.

To participate in this study, you need to be between the ages of 18 and 80 and scheduled for a specific type of shoulder surgery related to conditions like rotator cuff tears. Unfortunately, if you are under 18 or over 80, or if you have difficulty understanding English, you won’t be eligible to join. If you decide to participate, you can expect to fill out some questionnaires about your health and shoulder pain before and after your surgery. Your input will help improve care for future patients!
