	Patient Outcomes		Share

At Memorial Spine™, we proudly share our medical outcomes and patient feedback.

Any time you have surgery, there is a risk of complications. We follow proven standards of care and go to great lengths to reduce the risk of complications. The table below shows how often our patients have had complications after surgery. The first column lists the complication. The next column shows what percentage of spine surgery patients at Memorial University Medical Center experienced a complication. The last column shows the benchmark score among similar hospitals around the country. A lower score is better.

*Benchmark is from Premier database
**Benchmark is from 2010 Memorial Spine results

Patient Satisfaction
The scores below are based on responses from a sample of people admitted to Memorial University Medical Center for spine surgery. Patients are asked to rate the care they received using a scale of "very poor" to "very good." Each response receives a point value and we determine a mean score based on those points:

Very Poor = 0
Poor= 25
Fair = 50
Good = 75
Very Good = 100
A higher score is better.
