(Crosby, MN) — Cuyuna Regional Medical Center was announced as receiving The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Advanced Total Hip and Knee Replacement Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards.

The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.

The certification focuses on the pre-surgical orthopedic consultation to the intraoperative, hospitalization or ambulatory surgical center admission, rehabilitation activities, and follow-up visit with the orthopedic surgeon.

CRMC underwent a rigorous, onsite review March 22-23 with a Joint Commission reviewer, specializing in hip and knee standards. The reviewer evaluated patients outcomes and compliance with these specific standards, which are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers and provide the benchmark for orthopedic outcomes.
