"We put JointVentures into place and suddenly we had physician loyalty and they are not leaving. They have become partners with the hospital."
JointVentures® is a
comprehensive program that allows participating orthopedic surgeons
and the hospital to create a profitable and highly successful center
for total joint replacement surgery. JointVentures® has been
implemented in hundreds of hospitals in the United States and
abroad.
Our hospital clients report dramatic
increases in orthopedic market share using this program. Many have
been able to reduce the cost for joint replacement by 20 - 30% using
the proven techniques for standardization and simplification
integrated into JointVentures®.
Most important, patient satisfaction with the
program, the hospital, and the orthopedic physicians is measurably
enhanced. JointVentures® contains a series of
“patient-focused” expectation setting systems and amenities that
quickly establish your hospital as the patients’ choice for
orthopedic care in your marketplace. What are the expected results
- Length of stay for total joint replacement
patients should be decreased to four days in the hospital, or
less
Overall hospital costs should be reduced
dramatically through standardization and simplification of the
entire process
- Patient, physician, and staff satisfaction
should be enhanced
- The hospital and participating surgeons should
gain the identity as the community experts in orthopedics
