What To Expect

A three-pronged approach to implement value-based care in your organization. You will gain the Operational, Clinical, and Financial tools necessary to successfully implement value-based care for your orthopedic patients.

A Game-Changing Interdisciplinary Opportunity. You will brainstorm, problem-solve and network with all players in the orthopedics space. In fact, last year, 40% of our participants attended with their entire team. Only a TEAM approach is successful in our changing environment.

Enhanced Recovery & Perioperative Surgical Home. Grasp the actual nuts and bolts needed to implement these clinical models in your own organization. Value-based care is not only an economic model, but a combination of Clinical, Operational, and Financial approaches.

Three Bootcamps to Build your Ambulatory Orthopedic Practice

Cutting-edge interactive boot camps that help clinicians and administrators join forces to build a successful ambulatory orthopedic practice.

Image

Building an Orthopedic Bundle

This boot camp will teach you how to build a commercial or government bundle, or an alternative payment model. Our speakers are experts who developed bundles and models in their respective organizations. This is not an academic exercise boot camp but rather one that will be using a hands-on approach.
Image

Building an ASC Ambulatory Practice

As the orthopedic practice in the US continues to shift to an outpatient setting, it is paramount for all stakeholders to understand how to build and maintain such an entity. Speakers are clinician and administrator experts in the area of outpatient joint, shoulder, and spine surgery.
Image

Building an ASC Orthopedic ERAS-Perioperative Surgical Home Program

The increased complexity of our patients calls for optimization of multiple perioperative components. The perioperative surgical home and ERAS are uniquely suited innovative clinical models for this environment. Speakers are US leaders in this space and the topics were specifically selected for a combined clinician-administrator audience.

Two Medacta “Innovation Workshops” Designed to Assist in Building a Successful Outpatient Based Surgical Practice

Medacta Hip & Knee Arthroplasty
Cadaveric Session

This innovative musculoskeletal workshop includes, Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty, Uni-compartmental and Total Knee Arthroplasty utilizing Single Use Instrumentation. Also featured are new patient specific 3D printed surgical guide technologies that reduce surgical time, minimize instrumentation, and reduce imaging requirements for arthroplasty and pedicle screw placement.

Medacta Regional Anesthesia
Cadaveric Session

This workshop will utilize cadavers for identification of landmarks associated with regional anesthetic techniques under ultrasound guidance. Participants will be able to practice each technique on cadavers by going through steps necessary in performing a successful procedure. Blocks to be discussed will include interscalene, TAPs, PECs, adductor canal, and popliteal blocks.

An Interdisciplinary Group of 35 Speakers

We have assembled an internationally renowned group of leaders that represents all stakeholders who are involved in the care of orthopedic surgical patients. Meet some of our selected speakers below.
