Focus on Measurable Quality

The foundation of patient care is quality. The OSNA physicians’ commitment to providing the highest level of orthopedic care attracted me to the organization initially and is why I am now serving as the Vice President of Medical Affairs.  My principal responsibilities are to ensure that we maintain quality processes developed over the years and to identify new ones to continually raise the bar.   I chair the Quality Committee made up of OSNA physicians who meet monthly for internal peer review of our practice. Over the years, this group has reviewed issues such as:

• Indications for Total Knee Replacement
• Arthroscopy of knees in patients with arthritis
• Surgical rates by physician

 It is not an accident that in independent evaluations, OSNA physicians have performed better than other Arizona orthopedists in measures such as:

• Appropriate ACL treatment, including lower re-do rates
• Appropriate rotator cuff treatment, including lower re-do rates

 We spend a lot of time and energy at OSNA so that you get the best quality orthopedic care and optimal results with your orthopedic treatment.
