The Mercyhealth Joint Replacement Center at Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center is the only facility in Rock County with total hip and knee replacement certification from The Joint Commission.
Our center meets requirements in compliance with consensus-based national standards, effective and consistent use of appropriate, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the joint replacement patient population, and collection and analysis of a minimum of four performance measures specific to the joint replacement patient population.
To improve the care and outcomes of total knee and total knee replacement patients, and to meet and exceed Joint Commission requirements, Mercyhealth’s orthopedics staff has incorporated new best practices in infection control, length of stay, and before-surgery patient education.
