How to Successfully Implement The Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Bundled Payment Model
Wall, New Jersey (PRWEB) December 15, 2015 -- "The Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model marks a new paradigm for Medicare in establishing a mandatory episode of care payment for lower extremity joint replacement surgeries through the entire continuum of care and post-acute care management for 800 participant hospitals", says Lisa Miller, MHA, CEO of VIE Healthcare.
The CJR model holds participant hospitals financially accountable for the quality and cost of a CJR episode of care and incentivizes increased coordination of care among hospitals, physicians, and post-acute care providers. The episode of care begins with an admission to a participant hospital of a beneficiary who is ultimately discharged under MS-DRG 469 (Major joint replacement or reattachment of lower extremity with major complications or comorbidities) or 470 (Major joint replacement or reattachment of lower extremity without major complications or comorbidities) and ends 90 days post-discharge in order to cover the complete period of recovery for patients.
There are many new aspects of this bundled payment that exceeds the parameters of the current BPCI initiatives. Since the CJR model is effective January 1, 2016 and Medicare begins measurement on April 1, 2016 – hospitals must quickly and objectively assess their current state verse where they need to be in order to successfully manage to this new regulation. VIE Healthcare sees Year 1 as a tremendous opportunity for all hospitals in this model to receive a performance payment and share in the savings with collaborators.
"The goal of every hospital isn’t just to get up to speed by April 1, 2016 – but to be ahead of the curve and have performance indicators and intervention strategies in place prior so that your organization is working in harmony to provide exceptional patient care in a value based environment", says Miller.
VIE Healthcare wants your hospital to be prepared for this new paradigm shift in accountability. VIE has developed CJR key success indicators and 8 components to build a successful CJR Infrastructure.
