Core offering

The Orthopaedic Outpatient Surgery Center provides outpatient orthopaedic surgical care through six fully equipped operating rooms, serving over 350 patients per month in Central Iowa. Core services include joint replacements, arthroscopic surgeries, fracture repairs, sports medicine procedures, and spinal procedures delivered by board-certified orthopaedic surgeons from Des Moines Orthopaedic Surgeons (DMOS). The facility operates as a joint venture between DMOS and UnityPoint Health-Des Moines under AAAHC accreditation.

Product overview

Orthopaedic Outpatient Surgery Center (OOSC) operates as a single-facility outpatient surgery center specializing in orthopaedic surgical care. The center offers a unified set of patient-facing services including a Surgical Patient Portal for pre-operative questionnaires and instructions, a Simple Admit Portal for health history collection, and Online Payment Options for billing. These services are accessed through the main facility website and are designed to support patients through the surgical journey from pre-admission through post-operative follow-up. The center does not operate a platform-plus-modules architecture but rather provides direct healthcare services at its West Des Moines, Iowa location.
