Orthopedic Care Measures
Quality Measures for Orthopedic Care
BIDMC provides joint evaluation orthopedic care for more than 800 patients each year. Our services include joint replacement as well as repair. When choosing a hospital, patients in need of orthopaedic care should consider the hospital's experience with the surgery, patient outcomes, patients' experiences with care, and the efficiency of care.
