Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Comparing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) costs and patient-reported outcomes between a physician-owned hospital (POH) and a non-POH. METHODS: Costs for each 90-day TJA episode at both facilities were determined, and patients were asked to complete a patient satisfaction questionnaire. RESULTS: Average TJA episode cost was $19,039 at the POH, compared to $21,302 at the non-POH, a difference of $2,263 (p = 0.03), largely driven by decreased skilled nursing facility utilization in the POH group. There were no differences between groups for patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION: TJA can be performed at reduced cost with comparable patient satisfaction at POHs, compared to non-POH facilities.
