            Meadville Medical Center Named America's 100 Best for Orthopedic Surgery and Joint Replacement Surgery

            Posted By Meadville Medical Center

            Healthgrades Analyzes Patient Outcomes in Nearly 4,500 Hospitals

            Meadville, PA – Meadville Medical Center (MMC) released today that it has been recognized by Healthgrades as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals™ for Orthopedic Surgery and Joint Replacement Surgery. Healthgrades evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 34 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions.* Healthgrades identified the 100 best-performing hospitals across all conditions or procedures evaluated within Orthopedic Surgery and Joint Replacement Surgery.

            The achievement is part of findings released today in the Healthgrades 2018 Report to the Nation. The new report demonstrates how clinical performance continues to differ dramatically between hospitals nationally, regionally and at the local level, and the impact that this variation may have on health outcomes. For example, from 2014-2016 patients treated at hospitals receiving the America's 100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement Award have, on average 60.2% lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.*

            Additionally, from 2014-2016, patients treated at hospitals receiving the America's 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery Award have, on average 38.9% lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.*

            “We are delighted to continue to be recognized as a best-performing hospital for orthopedic services,” noted Philip Pandolph, MMC, Chief Executive Officer. For more than 10 years, our community has been truly fortunate to have such outstanding orthopedic surgeons and their clinical teams committed to provide the highest standard of care.”

            In addition to being named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery for four years in a row (2015-2018) and one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement Surgery for seven consecutive years (2012-2018), Meadville Medical Center also received a Five-Star Award for Treatment of Respiratory Failure in 2018.

            “Many consumers believe that hospital quality is standardized, though the reality is that clinical quality and outcomes at hospitals vary widely across the country,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Healthgrades, Chief Medical Officer. “The hospitals that have achieved the Healthgrades America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery and Joint Replacement Surgery distinction have demonstrated a commitment to exceptional quality of care and can distinguish themselves to consumers seeking care at high-quality facilities.”

            *For its analysis, Healthgrades evaluated approximately 45 million Medicare inpatient records for nearly 4,500 short-term acute care hospitals nationwide to assess hospital performance in 32 common conditions and procedures, and evaluate outcomes in appendectomy and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 17 states. Healthgrades recognizes a hospital’s quality achievements for cohort-specific performance, specialty area performance, and overall clinical quality. Individual procedure or condition cohorts are designated as 5-star (statistically significantly better than expected), 3-star (not statistically different from expected) and 1-star (statistically significantly worse than expected) categories. The complete Healthgrades 2018 Report to the Nation and detailed study methodology, can be found at www.healthgrades.com/quality.

            *Statistics are based on Healthgrades analysis of MedPAR data for years 2014 through 2016 and represent 3-year estimates for Medicare patients only.
