Pre-Surgery/Surgery

• Several weeks before surgery, patients receive a phone call from a nurse navigator who discusses their history, surgery and testing needed before they arrive for surgery. An appointment is made for the patient to come to the hospital and receive all testing, teaching and medical clearance needed in one visit prior to the day of surgery.
• 我们专门的关节护理协调员为骨科患者提供一个单一的接触点。这名护士是一名骨科专家，她会就手术当天的情况、手术后的安全活动、手术后的药物治疗以及出院后的计划进行集体或个体化的教学，以确保患者有一个安全的地方康复。当病人需要住院时，这名护士会跟踪病人从入院到出院，并在手术后几天内给病人打电话，以确保恢复顺利，并回答任何问题。

Post-Surgery

• The postoperative surgical experience takes place in a zen-like environment with private patient rooms. Our enhanced recovery program focuses on reducing the length of stay and shortened total recovery times. Our inpatient nursing unit has exceptional quality scores including top quartile scores for hospital acquired infections and falls with injury. Approximately a third of our expert nursing staff in the operating room and postoperative orthopedic unit are certified.
