Attract patients to your hospital
Without the extraordinary costs and prolonged surgery time.
Administrators are aware of the trend to reduce costs by focusing providers on performance measurements that improve outcomes.
Administrators are also aware that patients and their families want more assurances about the benefits of joint replacement.
Traditional hip replacement surgery amounts to nearly
1,200,000
procedures per year in Canada, US and EU
Outcomes largely remain dependent on surgeon experience and subjective judgments of soft tissue balancing
Meanwhile researchers report
Up to 12% of traditional primary THA result in revision surgery13 costing over $1 billion/year in the United States alone.32
Mean costs of revision surgery are
$54,55313
can reach as high as
$69,38013
with length of stay averaging 6.2 days and reaching as high as 11.8 days13
Up to 8.9% of patients will be readmitted within 90 days with most readmissions due to instability and dislocations 4
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), 2610 U.S. hospitals lost an average of 0.63% of total Medicare and Medicaid (MM) reimbursements averaging
a loss of $164,000 per hospital in 201515.
Additionally, the upcoming bundled payment/penalty system currently being piloted by CMS will forego payments for readmissions and instead levy penalties.
Centers performing 500 THAs per year could face penalties of close to
$1 million per year
Paving the Way for Bundled Payments
With the introduction of bundled payments, health providers must look at ways to reduce spending variation associated with an episode-of-care in order to avoid potential penalties for inconsistent outcomes.
