Dr. Borchardâs 2020 patient outcomes were compared to a baseline standard developed by Stryker Orthopaedics. The baseline average consisted of 650,000 elective knee and hip surgeries in over 200 hospitals and 20,000 Mako cases across the country.
Dr. Borchard and his teamâs outpatient/length of stay (LOS) significantly decreased in 2020. Most patients did not want to stay longer than necessary in the hospital, especially with COVID-19. CAOâs average LOS was 33.42 hours versus Strykerâs benchmark average of 41.79 hours, a decrease of 8.37 hours, or 20.03% less time spent in the hospital.
One-hundred percent of Dr. Borchardâs patients were discharged to home versus the 94% benchmark average; furthermore, none of his patients were readmitted to the hospital after surgery, which was measured at 30-days and 90-days post-operation. Compare this to Strykerâs benchmark average of 30-day readmission average of 1.74% and a 90-day readmission average of 2.72%.
