Positive Results

Quality of care, patient safety, and satisfaction ratings are factors that ensure a safe surgical procedure, positive experience, and smooth recovery. Outcomes are measured to track improvements following joint replacement.

Surgical Outcomes

Positive outcomes for joint replacement show overall better quality of life. Success is measured by improved function and reduced pain after surgery. Most patients show significant improvements after hip and knee replacement.

Delivering high quality care is our first priority. Measuring outcomes is essential to that mission. It allows us to know how well we are serving the patients who trust us with their care and make improvements in the way we deliver surgical services, so our patients can be confident that they are receiving orthopedic care according to the highest standards compared to both local and national peer groups.
