Roadmap for Succeeding in Bundled Payment for Orthopedic Joint Replacements

The objective of the study is to provide a road map that can help organizational leaders understand how to sequence their financial and human capital investments related to bundled payment arrangements. Although specific strategies will vary between organizations, providing evidence from a health system with extension experience bundling care for orthopedic joint replacements can be instructive for other providers entering new building arrangements. Insights from the experience of the health system can help other organizations prioritize effort and focus energy around strategies that increase the likelihood of succeeding under Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) and other bundled payment contracts.
