WellStar Cobb and Kennestone hospitals received the UnitedHealth Premium specialty center designation in recognition of quality care. Both hospitals received three-star ratings (three: highest, one: lowest).
UnitedHealthcare developed the specialty center program to give its members information and access to hospitals meeting rigorous quality criteria. The designation is based on detailed information about specialized training, practice capabilities and outcomes and is designed to help members make informed decisions should they need total joint replacement care.
To receive this designation, WellStar Cobb and Kennestone hospitals met extensive quality and outcomes criteria based on nationally recognized medical standards and expert advice. The criteria incorporate measurements of breadth and depth of care, staff experience, emergency care, quality and outcomes reporting.
The hospitals’ total hip and knee joint replacement programs also are certified by The Joint Commission.
