| Popis: |
In an era when the costs of surgical care are becoming increasingly scrutinized, the introduction of new technologies that may improve clinical outcomes can be limited due to economic constraints. Thus, bundled care payment models have emerged to reduce costs, improve outcomes and increase overall value. Since a bundle is a single reimbursement per episode of care that includes the surgical costs, as well as postoperative care and rehabilitation, cost savings are generally achieved through a reduction of services, complications and/or materials used. The present study demonstrates significant cost savings with a 90-day bundle for sensor-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). |
