Higher Surgical Volume Leads to Higher Quality
Research continues to demonstrate that the surgeons and hospitals that get the best results from spine surgeries tend to be the ones who perform those surgeries most often. Higher volume is correlated with lower rates of mortality, infection, pneumonia, and other complications. HSS performs more spine surgeries than other top national hospitals.
Outcomes Worth Talking About
Likelihood to Recommend is a key indicator of satisfaction with the outcome of treatment. We are proud that we have been in the 99th percentile on this measure when benchmarked against the similar hospitals in the Press Ganey database.
