PROMs that are an asset, not an overhead.
Fios collects patient-reported outcomes inside the same conversation guiding your patients through surgery.
Eligibility, response rates, matched pairs and provider variables are tracked as you go, so your data is complete and submission-ready when reporting comes due.
Your results follow you.
Most surgeons cannot get at their own outcome data. It sits with the hospital, a registry, or a vendor.
- Outcomes collected inside the conversation your patients already respond to
- Results accrue to your caseload, not to the practice's platform
- Change practices and your data goes with you
- Every case adds to a record that builds across your career
Ask inside a trusted conversation.
Your patients are already talking to your Fios. It guided them before surgery, checked in on them afterwards, and answered their questions at 9pm when nobody else would. When the survey arrives, it arrives in that same thread, anchored to their surgeon, on a channel they have been using for a year.
That is the difference between a survey request and a conversation they are already part of.
- No app, no login, no portal password to recover
- Delivered by SMS, the channel with the response rates
- Anchored to their surgeon, never an unrecognised sender
- Automatic reminders inside the same thread, not a separate chase
The measure in plain terms.
| What it measures | Improvement in patient-reported pain and function after elective primary total hip or total knee arthroplasty |
| Who counts | Medicare fee-for-service patients aged 65 and over |
| What you submit | Matched pre-operative and post-operative survey pairs |
| Instruments | HOOS JR for hip, KOOS JR for knee |
| Substantial clinical benefit | Improvement of 22 points or more on HOOS JR, 20 points or more on KOOS JR, at one year |
| Threshold | 50% of eligible procedures for hospital outpatient departments, 45% for ambulatory surgical centers |
| Risk adjustment | Provider variables including BMI and narcotic use, adjusted for case mix |
| Timeline | Voluntary for 2025 and 2026, mandatory from 2027 |
Reporting happens at facility level, through Hospital IQR, OQR or ASCQR. Fios keeps your caseload complete and submission-ready for whoever files.
Everything the measure needs.
Eligibility, confirmed
Patients screened against the CMS specification, Medicare fee-for-service and 65 or over, so you are tracking the right denominator from the start.
Response rate, live
Current rate against your applicable threshold, with the maximum still achievable projected from the patients you have left. You know where you stand before the period closes, not after.
Pre-op and post-op completion
Both ends of every pair tracked separately, so you can see exactly which patients are one survey away from counting.
Matched pairs
Completed pairs counted as they close, with unmatched patients surfaced while there is still time to act.
Substantial clinical benefit
Your SCB rate calculated against the thresholds in the measure, 22 points on HOOS JR and 20 points on KOOS JR at one year.*
Provider variables
BMI, narcotic use and the rest of the risk-adjustment inputs captured with action-required flags when something is missing.
Views are organized by reporting period and by surgeon caseload, so a practice with several joint surgeons can see the whole picture and each individual one.
Not a survey tool. Not a service. Outcome data you own.
A survey platform gives you a form
You get delivery and a data file. Chasing patients, watching the threshold and knowing which pairs are still recoverable stays your problem.
A managed service gives you a team
Someone else runs your program, which works, and costs what a person costs. Your outcomes data lives with your vendor.
Fios does it inside the journey
Collection happens where your patients already are, the tracking is in the same product guiding them, and the data accrues to your caseload. No separate stream, and no additional hire.
Trusted by surgeons, from solo private practice to world-leading hospitals
Questions surgeons ask.
Know your capture rate.
Most practices find out where they stand when the period closes. Create your workspace and start tracking it while you can still change the number.
