We show you how to build a successful service line program. We make it manageable by breaking it into steps. You start with a strong foundation and add elements that all work together to produce results for your hospital.

Simply put, TVC helps you implement, operate and market a successful joint replacement program.

Strong Foundation

JointVentures^® has all the elements a hospital needs for a successful joint replacement center. However, there are two important pieces that need to be in place so you have a strong foundation on which to build your program.

First, you need executive and physician buy-in. Their endorsement and support of the program is essential, if not critical.

The other piece is the project team leader. Your appointment of the right person to lead the implementation phase is vital to the success of your program.

Physician Engagement

Hospital executives know building partnerships with physicians is a sure way to secure a successful future in today's healthcare environment. That is why physician engagement is a significant part of our program.

Physicians want to be more efficient at the hospital and at their offices. Our program promotes various ways to achieve this goal.

Physicians also want more volume. Our strong marketing program feeds new patients to your physicians partners. We show you how to conduct community seminars to get appointments.

Efficiencies at the Hospital - Standardization:

• Standardization Orders
• Discharge Summary Templates
• Dedicated Joint Unit and Staff
• Grouping of Procedures on Designated Days

Efficiencies at the Office - Informatin Delivery:

• Patient Education Materials
• Educational Wall Displays
• Improved Informed Consent

Increase Patient Volume

Improved physician engagement results in physicians shifting their patients to your hospital. The physicians become your partners and spend less time "splitting" between hospitals.This means more volume for you. Community seminars also contribute to an increase in volume.

The amenities piece of the JointVentures^® program dramatically improves patient satisfaction and creates powerful word-of-mouth marketing. The JointCamp^® philosophy, specifically the group dynamic concept, is a major part of this. It will differentiate you from your competition and create community awareness.

The increased patient volume resulting from physician loyalty means your hospital can anticipate cost savings.
