Here are four things you need to know:
1. The new CMS proposal includes episode payment models for surgical hip/femur fracture treatment, acute myocardial infarction and coronary artery bypass graft. The proposed payment arrangement compensate providers for an episode of care during an inpatient stay and up to 90 days after a discharge, not for the individual components of care.
2. DePuy Synthes believes it can support the hospitals in 67 metropolitan areas that may have to expand Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement models to include hip fracture patients. The Geriatric Future Program program could help hospitals achieve better outcomes in these patients and see increased efficiencies and patient satisfaction.
