Medtronic has launched a new business unit that offers total joint replacement products and services – including a total knee arthroplasty solution – and will assist hospitals in managing a new bundled payment program implemented by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Implemented April 1, 2016, for 800 participating U.S. hospitals, the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model tests bundled payments and quality measurements for episodes of care associated with hip and knee replacements to encourage hospitals, physicians, and post-acute care providers to work together to improve the quality and coordination of care, from initial hospitalization through recovery.
