Hospital delivers superior patient outcomes according to Healthgrades
The Orthopedic Hospital of Lutheran Health Network ranked #1 in Indiana for Joint Replacement according to a new analysis released by Healthgrades, the leading resource that connects consumers, physicians and health systems.
The hospital was also a recipient of One of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery and a Patient Safety Excellence Award. For the State Ranking analysis, Healthgrades evaluated clinical performance for nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide focusing on eight key specialties across a mix of chronic, urgent and planned clinical areas.
“The Orthopedic Hospital is committed to providing safe, quality care to all our patients,” said Lorie Ailor, chief executive officer for The Orthopedic Hospital of Lutheran Health Network. “The state ranking and awards are a testament to the ongoing commitment by our staff and physicians to ensure patients achieve the best possible outcomes.”
Hospitals recognized among the Top Ranked in their state by Healthgrades are providing patients with measurably superior clinical outcomes. For example, patients treated from 2018 to 2020 at hospitals receiving a state ranking for joint replacement had on average 60.8 percent lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals not state ranked for joint replacement. And patients treated at hospitals not receiving a state ranking for joint replacement were two-and-a-half times more likely to experience a complication than if they were treated in a state ranked hospital for joint replacement.*
“For almost 25 years, Healthgrades’ mission has been to provide consumers with clear and accessible information to make more informed healthcare decisions,” said Brad Bowman, M.D., chief medical officer and head of data science for Healthgrades. “Patients can feel confident knowing that they have access to #1 ranked care for Joint Replacement at The Orthopedic Hospital of Lutheran Health Network.”
Earlier this year, The Orthopedic Hospital was also recognized by Healthgrades as a Patient Safety Excellence Award recipient for the 6th consecutive year (2017-2022), placing the hospital in the Top 5% in the Nation for Patient Safety.
