Panel Discussion and Q&A: The Outpatient Revolution in Orthopaedics

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speakers discuss the operational and macro aspects of transitioning to outpatient settings for total joint replacements. They discuss topics such as optimizing preoperative care to reduce post-operative anxiety, the role of opioid management in pain control, and the challenges of price transparency and avoiding a race to the bottom in terms of pricing. They also touch on the importance of physician-to-physician interactions and consolidations in the face of health system consolidation. The panelists respond to questions from the audience, covering topics such as pre-authorization, the impact of group size on contract negotiation, and the shift towards appropriateness of care rather than simply driving down costs.
