Centers of Excellence in Orthopedic Care: A Comparative Review of Specialized Hospitals from a Healthcare Management Perspective
Öz
This narrative review examines centers of excellence (CoEs) in orthopedic care from a healthcare management perspective, conducting a comparative analysis of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York, Charité in Berlin, Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna, and Baltalimanı Bone Diseases Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul. Prioritizing management models, organizational structures, and strategic practices over clinical outcomes, it explores the dynamics of specialization, volume-quality linkages, innovation, and sustainability. Employing secondary sources (official reports, academic publications) and benchmarking, the study reveals hybrid governance in academic (HSS, Charité) and foundational (Rizzoli) models fostering innovation, contrasted with Baltalimanı's public-focused accessibility strategies. Dimensions such as digital transformation (AI and robotic surgery), value-based care, human resources, and international patient management are delineated through similarities and differences in tables. Implications offer hospital managers insights for hybrid models and policymakers a global adaptation roadmap. Limitations include secondary data biases and clinical depth exclusions; future research proposes AI ROI and equity audits. Orthopedic CoEs emerge as pioneers of resilient health systems through managerial excellence.
