    UC Irvine Health Case Study Essay

For those worried about the performance of a surgeon because the turnover time improved, it went unaffected.

UC Irvine found that the readmission rate for hip arthroplasties is zero percent. The national average for readmission for a knee arthroplasty is between 2.5 percent and 4.3 percent compared to UC Irvine Health readmission rate which is 1.1 percent…
