Hi All,
As a hospital of 250- beds we have incorporated a model of care based on ” Whole of Hospital in Safe Hands”
This required a reconfiguration of wards.My issue is that we now have our main surgical ward combined with orthopaedics.
I would like to know of any hospital that segregates the elective joint surgery cases post operation
Thank you

Hi Vicki,
We are an acute private facility with dedicated specialties and we have two wards located on the same floor where all orthopaedic surgery, including joint replacements are accommodated. From time to time, these wards will take “outliers” from other depts., but wherever possible we do not place the joints with known SSI patients.I guess the main thing to consider is what is the risk to the orthopaedic patients if they are located with other surgical patients? Is HH compliance satisfactory across the hospital, is ANTT practised according to protocol etc.
Kind regards,
