Does a Total Joint Replacement Perioperative Surgical Home model improve clinical and operational outcomes in patients undergoing elective primary hip and knee arthroplasty?
Implementation of a Perioperative Surgical Home for total joint replacement is feasible and associated with low complication and readmission rates.
Garson et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Elective primary hip and knee arthroplasty (n=146). Total Joint Replacement Perioperative Surgical Home (PSH) was evaluated on Major complication. Implementation of a Total Joint Replacement Perioperative Surgical Home resulted in a 0.0% incidence of major complications, 0.0% in-hospital mortality, and a median length of stay of 3 days.
