Nurse Navigator
At Orthopedic Associates, we are committed to providing you with superior access to exceptional care. That’s why we proudly offer a dedicated nurse navigator so that you can receive the exceptional care and support you deserve throughout your entire outpatient joint replacement experience.
WHAT IS A NURSE NAVIGATOR?
A nurse navigator is an orthopedic nurse who provides patients with education and support throughout their joint replacement journey. They serve as a main contact person to patients and can provide:
- Community resources to patients and family
- Pre-op and post-op information and education
- One-on-one “concierge” support during the entire recovery process
SUPERIOR ACCESS TO EXCEPTIONAL SUPPORT
Our nurse navigator for outpatient joint replacements at Orthopedic Associates works closely with our joint replacement surgeons to ensure patients have an exceptional outpatient joint replacement experience, from start to finish. In addition to providing you with support, our nurse navigator will:
- Explain your procedure
- Answer your questions
- Coordinate your care throughout the joint replacement process
- Be a resource to you and your family / recovery caregiver
Our nurse navigator will meet with you before surgery as well as visit you at our state-of-the-art surgical facility. They will also contact you after you leave our facility to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.
