Orthopaedic Center of Excellence
Cleveland Clinic’s Orthopaedic Center of Excellence (COE) works to get employees feeling like themselves as soon as possible. Our nationally ranked Orthopaedic program is number 1 in Ohio, performing over 8,000 hip and knee replacement surgeries annually, with consistent outcomes above national averages.
Key features of this solution include:
- Care teams that use an asynchronous communication platform to engage patients at scale across their care journey through automated virtual check-ins.
- Patient engagement before admission and post-discharge with automated daily check-ins.
Our communication style means that patients understand what to do, when to do it and why.
Spine Center of Excellence
Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Spine Health plays a vital part in our Spine Center of Excellence (COE), which helps patients with back and neck conditions, ranging from the most common to the most complex.
Nationally recognized specialists at Cleveland Clinic perform over 4,000 surgeries annually, which means patients receive the most innovative, effective medical and surgical treatments available. Our multidisciplinary approach to care makes this program so uniquely effective. The team includes:
- Pain psychologists.
- Pain addiction psychiatrists.
- Pain management anesthesiologists.
- Medical spine physicians.
- Surgical spine surgeons.
- Advanced practice providers.
This quality and distinction not only sets our Spine Center of Excellence apart from competitors, but helps in effectively treating those in need of non-emergency surgeries. Cleveland Clinic's group practice physician model ensures there’s no incentive to provide surgical intervention. This means experts work to make certain each patient has the correct diagnosis and treatment plan, which results in surgery only being performed when absolutely necessary.
