Codesigning the web-based “Preoperative Rehab-readiness, Education and Preparation for Surgery” program for people undergoing a total shoulder replacement procedure
PREPS is an integrative co-designed virtual preoperative program that supports patients' preparation for a shoulder replacement. Codesign is a time-consuming iterative process whose dividends are evident in better usability and usefulness of the product. Mapping interventions to patient needs and clinical goals, considering diverse users and using an inclusive equity lens can potentially improve the quality of web-based health care interventions.
