5-Star Patient Experience Program


 

Introduction

Orthopaedic Associates, Inc. has described the patient experience program as focusing on 5 main improvement points to help achieve the 5-star Patient Care Standard. These 5 main points are Service, Quality, People, Finance, and Growth. Evidence has proven that patients who have a positive experience with their care have better health outcomes and their experience is improved when they have more control over their care while being treated with respect.

In addition to local, state, and federal laws, we have a moral and ethical obligation to engage with our patients, providers, and our loving community. This engagement will help serve and consider them as partners in the planning and delivery of care.

Orthopaedic Associates, Inc strives to provide a 5-star patient experience from beginning to end of treatment. This has been engrained in our culture of the organization and drives both services and personal objectives year after year.

Orthopaedic Associates, Inc. is proud of our mission to provide the most efficient and highest quality of care for a sustainable and serviceable area with ethics, compassion and best value for all patients.

This document is set out our strategy for the next two years. It will define how we will continue to improve patient experience using patient feedback to drive our quality improvement and constant learning.

The aim of this program is to ensure that all patients, their families, the care givers and visitors have a 5-star Patient Experience while receiving our care.
