AB  - To meet the growing demand for total knee replacement (TKR) procedures, health care systems are obligated to design care paths that foster more rational use of resources, including home-based postacute care. Early discharge to home, with home-based rehabilitation and physical therapy, has been associated with reduced cost, improved clinical outcomes, and increased patient satisfaction. The goals of a home-based clinical care path for TKR include patient and family engagement, shared decision-making, and flexibility regarding changes in plans to accommodate changing needs.
