For Orthopedic Practices

Patients don't start complex procedures because they are overwhelmed and confused. 

Doctors and staff don't have time to educate patients on complex procedures in the clinic. Patients come in ready but never start because the procedure feels like too much. Whether it's a spinal fusion, a knee replacement, a rotator cuff repair, or an RF ablation, Hoot puts your doctor's own videos right in the patient's text thread, so they understand their options, feel confident, and actually move forward.

What We Learned

Patients decide at the kitchen table, not in the clinic.

The exam room moves fast, and the information is heavy: a diagnosis, a recommendation, a treatment, a recovery timeline, all covered in a few minutes. Real understanding happens later, at home, where the patient can watch, pause, and rewatch with the family member who will be helping them recover.

That is where the decision actually gets made. Where the pre-op instructions get followed, where the patient stops the blood thinner on the right day, where the weight-bearing rules get taken seriously, and where physical therapy is completed. Meet patients there, and they feel calmer, more confident, and far more likely to move forward and stay on track.

How Hoot Helps

Your surgeon explains it. In their own words.

No app. No portal. The videos arrive by text and email, in a thread the patient already trusts, from a face they already know. So the questions get answered before they turn into a cancelled surgery or a phone call to your front desk.

Every journey is built around the specific procedure, so a fusion patient, a joint replacement patient, and a bunion patient each get their own sequence.

Outstanding healthcare is built on the trust established between the doctor and the patient. Our providers earn that trust by thoughtfully educating patients about their complex procedure in the clinic and with the Hoot system, now at home, in their kitchen, which is where patients make healthcare decisions, often with their spouse. We are delighted to be working with Hoot to elevate that level of trust through provider video education, across our entire specialty services.
