Post-Op Follow-Up Questionnaire
What a post-op follow-up questionnaire asks, with sample questions on how the patient feels, pain relief, and medicines.
A post-op follow-up questionnaire records how a patient is recovering after surgery: how they feel, pain relief, medicines, and questions for the surgeon. The questions here are built from a University of Arizona orthopedic follow-up questionnaire and a UK day-case follow-up questionnaire.
Post-op follow-up questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a post-op follow-up questionnaire in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Post-op follow-up questionnaire: FAQ
What does a post-op follow-up questionnaire ask?
The sample questions on this page are built from a University of Arizona orthopedic follow-up questionnaire and a UK day-case follow-up questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: surgery details, your update, pain relief, medicines, outcome, and your questions.
Who answers it, and when?
The patient, after discharge or before a follow-up visit. The UK questionnaire is sent by text message or email once the patient is home after a day-case procedure.
Does it ask about pain medicine?
Yes. Both sources ask about pain relief medicine still taken, and the UK questionnaire also asks which one and how often.
Does AI Doctor change medicines or give recovery advice?
No. AI Doctor records what the patient reports, and any change to medicines or care is decided by the surgeon's team.
Is there a template?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set. The University of Arizona form also asks the patient to rate the outcome of surgery.
What happens after the post-op follow-up questionnaire is completed?
The surgeon's team reviews the answers. AI Doctor does not assess recovery.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
