The Indiana Orthopaedic Hospital (IOH) is celebrating its fifth anniversary this month. IOH opened its doors in March of 2005, when the physicians of OrthoIndy saw an increasing need for orthopaedic care in the Midwest. Owned by the physicians of OrthoIndy, IOH provides bone, joint, spine and muscle care in a patient-focused, like-home environment.

“We are excited to celebrate our hospital’s milestone of five years of service to Indianapolis and the Midwest,” said IOH CEO Jane Keller, RN, MBA. “In our five years of operation, we have celebrated many successes, due in large part to our owners being physicians first and owners second. IOH has always stated that choice, high-quality outcomes, safety, patient satisfaction and overall value are our utmost priorities.”

Ranked in the top fivepercent in the nation for joint replacement surgery, IOH is also 5-Star rated in joint replacement, total knee replacement, total hip replacement, spine surgery and back and neck surgery (spinal fusion) by HealthGrades, the nation’s leading health care ratings company. In 2009, IOH was the recipient of the Press Ganey Summit Award for a facility sustaining the highest level of customer satisfaction for three or more consecutive years.

The recognition received proves a physician hospital model provides quality outcomes for its patients. The owners of IOH believe a physician-owned hospital model provides patients with quality care because the physician is involved in every aspect of the patient’s treatment. In physician-owned hospitals like IOH, the physicians play the role of the patient advocate. They personally decide what type of treatment is most appropriate and beneficial, putting the care of the patients first.

“As a physician-owned specialty hospital, we are privileged to have served this community for the past five years,” said Keller. “I am proud of our physicians and staff for creating an environment where patient satisfaction, safety and outcomes are their highest priorities.

Our physicians had a vision for our hospital that it would be a different type of healthcare facility where the focus was on superior patient care delivered by a caring and dedicated staff. Every employee’s dedication to creating a patient focused experience and has been integral in our hospital’s success.”
