Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC) earned recognition in 2024 as one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Outpatient Joint Replacement and was an Outpatient Joint Replacement Excellence Award™ recipient from Healthgrades®, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. Maury Regional Medical Center was also recognized by Healthgrades as the #1 orthopedic surgery program in Tennessee for 2024.
These achievements reflect Maury Regional Medical Center’s dedication to clinical excellence and distinguishes the medical center as one of the nation’s leading hospitals for outpatient joint replacement and orthopedic surgery.
“Maury Regional Medical Center has a growing orthopedic service line whose surgeons are committed to utilizing best practice treatment methods, resulting in optimal outcomes for our patients,” said Maury Regional Health CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “This recognition is the culmination of the leadership and exemplary care demonstrated by the orthopedic surgeons of Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance Columbia as well as our surgical and physical therapy teams.”
To identify the top-performing hospitals for outpatient joint replacement, Healthgrades analyzed patient outcomes at short-term acute care facilities nationwide that offer knee and hip replacement in an outpatient environment. Healthgrades’ analysis found that patients treated at hospitals that have been recognized for excellence in outpatient joint replacement have a demonstrably better chance at a smooth recovery than those treated at hospitals that were not recognized by Healthgrades. In fact, between 2020 and 2022, patients treated at hospitals receiving the awards for America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Outpatient Joint Replacement and Outpatient Joint Replacement Excellence had, on average, a 5 or 10%, respectively, lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated at hospitals that did not receive the award.*
In addition to these awards, Maury Regional Medical Center also received recognition from Healthgrades for 2024 as one of America’s 100 Best Orthopedic Surgery Programs, Total Knee Replacement Five-Star Recipient Award, Joint Replacement Excellence Award, Orthopedic Surgery Excellence Award and Outpatient Joint Replacement Excellence Award. The medical center was also recently recognized as the only hospital in Tennessee to receive Healthgrades’ Patient Safety Excellence Award™ and Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ for 2024.
“These accolades, including awards such as the Orthopedic Surgery Excellence Award and Outpatient Joint Replacement Excellence Award, highlight our dedication to providing superior patient outcomes and innovative orthopedic care,” said orthopedic surgeon Cason Shirley, MD.
Surgeons on Maury Regional Health’s medical staff performing joint replacements are affiliated with Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance Columbia. The practice consists of 12 physicians, with specialties that include knee, hip, foot, ankle, hand, shoulder, spine and elbow surgeries as well as interventional pain management and sports medicine.
In May 2024, Maury Regional Health held a groundbreaking ceremony to launch the construction of the new Orthopedic Surgical Institute on the campus of Maury Regional Medical Center. The project consists of a 34,040-sq.-ft. expansion to the northeast side of the existing Pavilion from the ground level to the fourth floor. The ground level will contain a new sterilization and surgical supply unit, while the first floor will contain four operating suites, with two additional shelled areas that can be equipped as surgical suites, and two procedure rooms. Among the technology available in the Orthopedic Surgical Institute will be the Mako robotic-assisted platform used for knee and hip replacement, the INHANCETM Shoulder System from DePuy Synthes for shoulder arthroplasty procedures, the Infinity Total Ankle System from Stryker for non-fusion total ankle replacements and the 7D Surgical FlashTM Navigation System for spinal procedures. The remaining floors will provide shelled space for future expansion. The expansion is expected to be complete in less than two years.
“Maury Regional Medical Center exemplifies what it means to be a leader in outpatient orthopedics by delivering consistently superior outcomes across key outpatient procedures,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Patients undergoing outpatient joint replacement at Maury Regional Medical Center should feel confident in their decision to seek care from a facility with top marks in their procedure.”
