Advanced Surgical Hospital earns top rank for joint replacement
A local surgical hospital has taken top honors in the state for superior patient outcomes in joint replacement surgery. Advanced Surgical Hospital, located on Trich Drive in North Franklin Township, ranks first in Pennsylvania for joint replacement according to a new analysis released by Healthgrades, a leading resource connecting consumers, physicians and health systems. Advanced Surgical Hospital has also received the America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement Award for the ninth consecutive year and the Outstanding Patient Experience Award for the tenth straight year.
Healthgrades evaluated clinical performance for nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide to create its state rankings and focused on eight key specialties across a mix of chronic, urgent and planned clinical areas. From 2018-2020, patients treated at hospitals receiving a state ranking for joint replacement averaged a 60.8% lower risk of complications while in the hospital compared to those facilities that were not ranked. Healthgrades also found patients treated at hospitals not receiving a state ranking for joint replacement are 2.55 times more likely to experience a complication compared to treatment in a ranked hospital.
“Being ranked number one in Pennsylvania for joint replacement is a testament to Advanced Surgical Hospital’s continued commitment to top quality care,” said Brad Bowman, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Hospitals receiving a number one ranking in their state have much to be proud of as their deep medical expertise has built a track record of delivering positive outcomes for their patients.”
Advanced Surgical Hospital is a physician-owned orthopedic specialty hospital serving the community since May 2010. The facility has 14 private inpatient rooms to care for those who require overnight stays, with meals catered by a local favorite, Angelo’s Restaurant.
