OUR MISSION
TO RESTORE, IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THE HEALTH AND MOBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS WITH MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS AND DISEASES THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN CARE AND OUTCOMES, CLINICAL INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY.
PRESENTING THE 2012 OUTCOMES REPORT
At Hoag Orthopedic Institute (HOI), raising the quality of orthopedic care while simultaneously lowering costs calls for a deliberate, thorough and ongoing evaluation of outcomes, trends, and quality improvement interventions. Performance measurement provides a vital tool for our delivery of best-practice medical care.
HOI has committed to transparency in reporting outcomes data. By providing timely and accurate information about our patient care practices, referring physicians and patients can be well informed and thus make better healthcare decisions.
HOI’s quality tracking mechanisms enable us to participate in the following public reporting initiatives: • Joint Commission Performance Measurement Initiative (www.qualitycheck.org)
• California Department of Health (www.calhospitalcompare.org)
• U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov)
As a forerunner in outcomes measurement and reporting, HOI has been selected by the California Joint Replacement Registry to develop a statewide registry database for tracking long-term outcomes in patients undergoing joint replacement surgery.
In this report, along with clinical outcomes, we have provided some concrete examples regarding our pursuit of excellence in quality of care and patient safety, community partnerships and leadership in future healthcare delivery. To augment the information in this Outcomes Report, we have included additional data on our website at www.hoagorthopedicinstitute.com.
We are proud to present our inaugural Outcomes Report and welcome your comments and feedback.
Sincerely,
Robert S. Gorab, MD Dereesa Reid, MBA
