Collaborating On Novel Post-Acute Pathways: A Value-Based Performance Improvement Initiative
8:30 AM - 9:00 AM EDT
In order to excel at value based care, Orthopedic groups must implement new pathways and innovations to optimize TJR bundles. It is well known that the coordination of post acute care can drive cost savings, primarily when shifting away from the overutilization of home health. Do these innovations reduce costs, maintain quality, and improve patient satisfaction? What is required to make performance improvement successful? This presentation will walk through the implementation of a novel outpatient PT at Home platform when adopted by one of the largest Orthopedic specialty centers in the country. We’ll present the keys to successful adoption, in addition to real world cost-analysis and outcomes.
