ASCs across the U.S. are adding orthopedics and total joint replacement programs as more cases are migrating to the outpatient setting. The first step is developing programs with great outcomes to serve patients; the next goal is for the total joint program to deliver quadruple aim care.
The most optimized and sophisticated total joint programs are efficient and effective, providing great patient outcomes as well as high patient and surgeon satisfaction at a low cost for the healthcare system. Meeting all demands of all stakeholders in the quadruple aim is a significant challenge, but the right partnerships can help ASC owners and operators achieve their goals.
Johnson & Johnson has developed a sole-source partnership model that helps organizations redefine their goals according to the realities of the ever-changing healthcare world, reach more lives and remain profitable. Take a look at Mercy Health System's experience.
