Reducing Episode Costs with Digital Care Management
Hospitals are under immense pressure to comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) total hip/knee arthroplasty patient-reported outcome - performance measure (THA/TKA PRO-PM), under both the inpatient quality reporting (IQR) program and the upcoming Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM). Administrators, service line coordinators, and quality leaders are now looking to enhance their patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) collection, care coordination, and episode workflows to avoid associated financial penalties.
Beyond financial penalties, compliance with complex regulatory requirements can represent substantial additional costs on hospitals, including delivering internal education, new processes, workflow adjustments, and deploying technology solutions.
