Cape Fear Valley’s award-winning Joint Replacement Club was honored in November 2010 with The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for quality in the areas of Total Knee replacement surgery and Total Hip Replacement surgery. Since then, Cape Fear Valley has maintained Joint Commission Disease-Specific Certification for hip and knee replacement. Hoke Hospital has maintained Joint Commission Disease-Specific Certification for hip and knee replacement since 2019. The Joint Replacement Club is a carefully thought out and rigorous program designed to assist joint replacement patients before, during and after surgery. Patients stay in the Joint Replacement Club on the inpatient unit for 1-3 days after surgery.

Goals of The Joint Replacement Club

Improve the quality of patient care

Advancements in joint replacement surgery have revolutionized the patient experience. Cutting-edge techniques and technologies now allow for faster recoveries, reduced pain, and longer-lasting joint implants that restore mobility and improve overall quality of life. Patients undergoing joint replacement can expect personalized, state-of-the-art care that prioritizes their comfort, function, and long-term wellbeing.

Increase patient satisfaction

The goal of our joint replacement program is to deliver an exceptional patient experience from start to finish. By focusing on personalized care, minimally invasive techniques, and innovative pain management, we strive to maximize patient satisfaction and help our joint replacement patients return to the activities they love. Patients can expect comprehensive support and a seamless journey towards renewed mobility and improved quality of life.

Improve outcomes

Our joint replacement program is committed to delivering superior outcomes for our patients. Through the use of advanced technologies, proven surgical techniques, and personalized rehabilitation plans, we aim to minimize complications, accelerate healing, and ensure long-lasting joint function. Patients can look forward to regaining their mobility, strength, and independence with our joint replacement solutions designed to optimize their results.

Increase patient knowledge of events to come

At the heart of our joint replacement program is a commitment to patient education. We believe an informed patient is an empowered patient, which is why we provide a comprehensive overview of the entire joint replacement journey - from pre-operative preparation to post-operative recovery. By setting clear expectations and equipping patients with the knowledge they need, we help ensure a smooth, stress-free experience throughout the process.

Reduce the length of hospital stay

Our joint replacement program is designed to get you back on your feet faster. Through minimally invasive techniques and advanced pain management protocols, we are able to significantly reduce the length of hospital stays while maintaining exceptional surgical outcomes. Patients can expect a streamlined recovery process that has them leaving the hospital sooner and regaining their independence more quickly.

Prevent Infections

Infection prevention is a top priority in our joint replacement program. We employ the most rigorous sterilization protocols and utilize cutting-edge antimicrobial technologies to minimize the risk of surgical site infections. Our comprehensive approach to infection control helps ensure the safety and successful recovery of every joint replacement patient.
