TidalHealth Nanticoke recertified in hip and knee replacement
SEAFORD — TidalHealth Nanticoke has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for total hip- and knee-replacement surgery by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards.
The designation is a symbol that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to safe and quality patient care.
The recertification evaluates how organizations like TidalHealth use clinical outcomes and performance measures to identify how to improve care, as well as to prepare patients and caregivers for discharge.
The seal is valid for two years and follows a rigorous and unannounced on-site review earlier in 2023.
TidalHealth Nanticoke’s hip- and knee-replacement programs have continuously striven to exceed benchmarks with quality outcomes. The hospital utilizes strategies to assure best practices are implemented for pre-procedure education, early ambulation after surgeries, appropriate pain management, post-procedure education and improved functional outcomes.
