Value-based care is transforming orthopaedic surgery, prioritising patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness. How can orthopaedic surgeons optimise patient outcomes and control costs while shifting to value-based care? Here's what five leading orthopaedic surgeons envision for this evolving landscape: James Chen, MD (DISC Sports and Spine Center, Newport Beach, CA), highlights technology's role in standardising outcomes, like smart implant total knee technology. Ranjan Gupta, MD (UCI Health, Orange, CA), emphasises tangible improvements in patient outcomes amidst rising costs. David Kalainov, MD (Northwestern University - The Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago), notes the alignment of value-based care with governmental and private payer sources. Louis Levitt, MD (Centres for Advanced Orthopaedics, Bethesda, MD), acknowledges challenges and opportunities in the shift to value-based care, emphasising evidence-based practices and stakeholder engagement. Philip Louie, MD (Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, Tacoma, WA), underscores the complexities of defining meaningful outcomes and accurately calculating costs in value-based care. As orthopaedic surgeons navigate value-based care, integrating technology, data-driven practices, and stakeholder alignment will drive positive change and ensure sustainable healthcare delivery. https://lnkd.in/ggy-9CJf #MedTechNews #MedicalDevices #HealthcareInnovation #MedTechIndustry #HealthTech #HealthcareTechnology #MedDeviceNews #HealthcareNews #MedTechTrends

Orthopedic companies can influence the expansion of ambulatory surgery by staying current on which procedures will move out of inpatient settings and knowing how to support them.
