Independence Health System’s Butler Memorial Hospital has received national recognition for outpatient joint replacement.
Healthcare platform, Healthgrades, named the local facility as a winner of the Outpatient Total Knee Replacement Award for the third year in a row.
In order to arrive at this rating, Healthgrades analyzed patient outcomes from 2022 to 2024 and found a lower risk of complications observed at hospitals that received this award.
Healthgrades also evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates at short-term acute care facilities that perform critical orthopedic procedures in an outpatient environment.
