A Quality Approach to Hip/Knee Joint Replacement Surgery

The Joint Connection Program promotes a sense of community with staff, family members and fellow patients supporting each other every step of the way. Patients are encouraged to be mobile, to add a few more feet to the walking chart, and to visit other patients on the unit.

What makes the program unique is its emphasis on recovery – patients are provided information about joint replacement and detailed explanations of the surgery and recovery process. Patients are challenged to take the lead in their recovery.

While in the hospital, dedicated hospitalists will manage the patients’ medical needs for those whose physicians are not on staff at the hospital. A social service staff member is available to help patients and family members with any discharge needs or other issues.

Patients are typically moving within hours of surgery. Rehabilitation therapy normally begins the day after surgery and continues after discharge as an outpatient. A family member, who is designated as the patient’s “Coach,” participates in the patient’s therapy and is taught how to assist him or her at home.
