What Influences How Patients Rate Their Hospital After Total Hip Arthroplasty?

Post-THA patients associate pain management with hospital satisfaction, as well as their perception of their treating nurses and orthopedists. Overall satisfaction was most impacted by patients' perception of their nurse, followed by their orthopedist. In addition, there was an association between shorter length of stay and higher overall satisfaction. These results are of paramount importance because by recognizing factors that affect scores on satisfaction surveys, orthopedic surgeons can direct efforts to improve post-THA satisfaction and optimize reimbursements.
