Who We Are
Our Vision
We will be the trusted leader in orthopedic care and medicine, recognized
nationally for our superior clinical outcomes, innovation and patient value.
Our Mission
To restore, improve and enhance the health and mobility of individuals
with musculoskeletal conditions and diseases through excellence in care
and outcomes, clinical innovation, research and advocacy.
Hoag Orthopedic Institute was developed through a unique partnership between
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian and a select group of Orange County
based orthopedic physicians with many years of experience providing care
to orthopedic patients. After years of careful and dedicated planning,
the organization has successfully combined the ideas and experience of
the best hospital in Orange County, Hoag, with the knowledge, skills and
experience of some of the top orthopedic physicians in their field.
Hoag Orthopedic Institute is one of the only specialty hospitals in the
United States caring exclusively for orthopedic patients. Our goal is
to restore, improve and enhance the health and mobility of individuals
with musculoskeletal conditions and diseases through excellence in care
and outcomes, clinical innovation, research and advocacy.
The Hoag Orthopedic Institute facility, located at 16250 Sand Canyon Avenue
in Irvine, has 70 beds and nine operating rooms designed and equipped
specifically for orthopedic cases. All staff and physicians are highly
educated, trained and experienced in the diagnoses associated with the
orthopedic patient. Thus they have developed deep skills and deep knowledge
that has drawn to them more orthopedic procedures than any other facility
or group in California. The physicians at Hoag Orthopedic Institute are
all Board Certified orthopedic surgeons, and the nursing staff is trained
specifically in orthopedic surgical care.
In addition, the patient-centered focus Hoag Orthopedic Institute ensures
that patients can experience a maximally healing environment. A unique
and very significant part of the healing environment are the Nurse Navigators,
assigned to each inpatient as a personal guide from the moment they decide
to pursue surgery, through the surgery itself, the physical therapy, discharge
and ongoing care. The physical surroundings are designed to be healing
as well, incorporating feng shui elements and attention to keeping the
noise level at a minimum.
Hoag Orthopedic Institute is affiliated with two outpatient facilities,
one located in Newport Beach and the other in Santa Ana. These facilities
are also dedicated to the care of the orthopedic patient. We are one out
of three hospitals in the state selected to develop a statewide registry
program, and we are unique as well in developing a value-based episode
of care program for payment.
While we have achieved our goal of developing a patient-centered, value-based
facility for orthopedic diagnosis and care, we continue to improve and
grow by always pursuing better patient care through a number of major
initiatives.
Physician Relationships - Positioning Statement
Hoag Orthopedic Institute (“HOI”) is committed to transparency
and the proper disclosure of our physicians’ affiliations with different
health care companies, especially medical device companies. As one of
the only specialty hospitals in the United States caring exclusively for
orthopedic patients, our physicians are committed to finding the latest
advances in patient care, clinical innovation, research and advocacy.
As part of this commitment, there are instances where our physicians are
approached by medical device companies to provide their time and expertise
to create and improve products for patient care and these companies often
provide compensation to our physicians for their efforts. Compensation
could be in the form of consulting fees, royalties related to sales of
a product, or other forms of payment.
HOI physicians are devoted to finding new, improved ways to treat our patients.
However, we understand that some of these industry relationships could
create a conflict of interest. HOI works with our physicians to provide
transparency and honesty when addressing different affiliations with medical
device companies. If your health care involves the placement of a medical
device, we encourage you to ask about which product might be best for
you and to ask about our physicians’ affiliations with different
medical device companies. You may also ask to read HOI’s policy
on physician-industry relationships.
If you have any questions about your care or would like to learn more about
HOI’s policy on physician relationships with the medical device
industry, please contact HOI’s Compliance Department at 949-727-5020.
