| Abstract: | Health insurance companies buy care for their members by making agreements with health care providers. The goal of health insurance companies is to represent the interest of their insured persons with regard to care. In the Netherlands the number of people with arthrosis is very large. Total knee and hip arthroplasty are two of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Right now, there are differences between hospitals and patients with respect to the waiting time for total joint arthroplasty, the number of physical therapy sessions and the number of hospital days after total joint arthroplasty. These differences between hospitals can lead to different outcomes after total knee and hip arthroplasty. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate to what extent waiting time, physical therapy and length of hospital stay have an influence on the quality of care after total knee or hip arthroplasty. |
