Dexur’s analysis of medicare claims of hospitals within a 25-mile radius of Toms River, NJ, showed that Riverview Medical Center, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, and Ocean Medical Center had the best value outcomes over a 90-day episode for Hip and Knee Replacement. The episode of care tracks a patient journey from the date of admission for 90 days and includes the index hospitalizations, rehospitalization, home health, nursing home, and ED costs.
