 Departments and Services > The Bone & Joint Program > Services
Our Bone & Joint Program offers many services that are unique to our area. Our program is designed with our patients and their families in mind.
Pre-operative teaching plans
You will meet one-on-one with your joint coordinator to map out a strategy for your surgical experience. We will coordinate with nursing and anesthesia to get you better prepared for surgery. You will attend Joint Camp and be assigned a joint coach to help you through the process.
Anesthesia Services
We provide the most up-to-date anesthesia techniques available by our highly trained anesthesia department. There are multiple options that involve combinations of both general anesthesia (the patient is completely asleep) and regional anesthesia (which involves injecting the nerves that supply pain to the surgical area to provide pain relief.) The anesthesiologists will decide with you and your surgeon what is the best possible option for you. We provide the latest in pain management techniques in order to put you in control of your discomfort.
Post-operative care
We have specially trained nurses who will care for you after surgery. We have nationally certified post anesthesia nurses who will monitor you post operatively. You will be assured of a private room postoperatively as well. We also provide room service type meals where you can call and order what you want, when you want, as long as it is within your dietary plan.
Physical Rehabilitation
We offer a coordinated referral to area Skilled Nursing Rehabilitation Centers in the event that you are not ready to be discharged directly to your home. We have established these referral relationships dependent upon your medical needs and insurance coverage. Our goal is to return you to your previous level of function in your home as soon as possible.
Quality Measure
We are monitoring National Clinical Databases to insure that we are providing top quality care as measured across the country. We are already well above the national average in reducing infection rates. We are constantly monitoring the procedures we have in place in order to maintain our good standing with national accreditation.
Community Outreach
We are constantly striving to keep our communities informed with the most up-to-date medical information available and have many community programs set up on an ongoing basis. If you have a group that would like to become more knowledgeable about orthopaedic care, please feel free to contact us directly.
