Joint replacements are one of the most common surgeries, with over one million performed per year. The advancements in surgical options available for patients are ever-changing. Paul M. Levy, MSN, BS, RN, ONC, is excited to share his expertise in orthopedics to provide a better understanding of Total Joint Replacement Surgery:
CMS reimbursement processes (Value Based Purchasing or VBP and Comprehensive Total Joint “bundling”) have put a premium on ensuring patient satisfaction is achieved. Failure to meet baseline measurements in HCAHPS scores will result in decreased reimbursements for hospitals. In addition, 30-day readmission rates also will affect VBP scores. For hospitals receiving “bundled” payments, readmissions are now tracked over 90 days. Paul will share the clinical implications that can impact the various payments that are increasingly important to your practice setting:
By the end of this seminar you will have a clear understanding of the entire process from start to finish for total joint patients. These insights will, in turn, allow interdisciplinary healthcare professionals to help patients better understand the process, set realistic expectations, and achieve optimal outcomes following surgical interventions.
