At Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin (OHOW), exceptional patient care begins with communication. That’s why we’re proud to share that OHOW has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of just 183 hospitals nationwide to receive five-star ratings in both nurse and physician communication.
This national recognition is based on patient experience data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and highlights hospitals where patients consistently report excellent communication with both their nurses and physicians.
Why Communication Matters
Great orthopedic care is about more than successful procedures and advanced technology. It also means taking the time to listen, answer questions, explain treatment options, and ensure patients feel informed and supported throughout every step of their care.
Clear, compassionate communication helps patients:
- Better understand their diagnosis and treatment plan.
- Feel confident asking questions and expressing concerns.
- Make informed decisions about their care.
- Experience greater trust and confidence throughout their recovery.
These conversations are a critical part of achieving the best possible outcomes, and they’re a standard our team strives to uphold every day.
A Reflection of Our Team
This recognition belongs to every member of the OHOW team. From the first appointment through recovery, our physicians, nurses, therapists, and support staff work together to create an experience centered on respect, compassion, and personalized care.
Being recognized among a select group of hospitals nationwide reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering not only exceptional orthopedic care, but also an exceptional patient experience.
Thank You to Our Patients
We’re grateful to the patients who shared their experiences and trusted us with their care. Their feedback helps us continue to improve and reinforces the importance of meaningful communication in every interaction.
