Carrum Health’s Post

#InTheNews What happens when you reimagine surgical care, and change how it’s paid for, delivered and experienced? Lee Hafner delved into this for Employee Benefit News. This story explores how Carrum Health has partnered with Quantum Health to offer employers a comprehensive solution that reduces the cost of expensive surgeries. "Carrum has reimagined the surgical bundle,” says Dan Shur, Quantum’s Chief Product Officer. “It's already pre-packaged for the employer, and by getting people into high-quality doctors, there's going to be a savings. There's also going to be a better experience for their employees and their dependents. But that's only one piece of the puzzle; surgical episodes happen amidst a whole bunch of other things, and that's why if you marry the navigation with the surgical pieces, you actually have a complete solution.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e2RtaQEX #EBN  #employeebenefits #carrumhealth #quantumhealth #centersofexcellence

CMS' Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is driving significant changes in how surgical episodes are managed, particularly with the inclusion of the patient-reported outcome performance measure (PRO-PM) for Lower Extremity Joint Replacements (LEJRs). Here's a comprehensive guide that details out TEAM and its impact on your organization. https://loom.ly/terwIMM At a glance: 💫 TEAM is a CMS initiative and Alternate Payment Model designed to improve surgical care and reduce costs by focusing on five key procedures: LEJR, SHFFT, CABG, Spinal Fusion, and Major Bowel Procedures. 💫 TEAM participants include acute care hospitals under IPPS, such as safety-net, rural, Medicare-dependent, sole community, and essential access community hospitals, located in designated mandatory CBSAs. 💫 Starting in 2027, quality metrics will be provided privately to participants with public reporting one year later. Data will be gathered through existing IQR and HAC Reduction programs to streamline reporting. https://loom.ly/terwIMM #Healthcare #TEAM #CMS #TEAMGuide #HealthcareInnovation #HealthcareManagement #HealthcareLeadership #HealthcareStrategy #HealthcareExcellence #CMSUpdates

HOPCo Acquires MoonlightOrtho to Increase Patient Convenience and Expand Access to Musculoskeletal Care HOPCo (Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company), the leader in musculoskeletal (MSK) clinical outcomes management solutions and the country's largest orthopedic value-based care organization, continues its digital health platform expansion with its acquisition of MoonlightOrtho. "With this digital platform, we will more rapidly expand HOPCo's ability to deploy our digital patient engagement platform to help align patients and providers around convenient interactions and best-practice clinical standards," said Rina Vertes, FSA, MAAA, President of Value-Based Care for HOPCo. "We know that many patients may be initially unsure if their symptoms are indicative of a true MSK condition or its acuity and, therefore, may delay or forego needed care or unnecessarily visit the ER for elective care. By providing an easy-to-use resource to patients, their care can be expedited, appropriately monitored and expertly directed from a remote platform." https://lnkd.in/ezwpH8pZ Tom Harte #HOPCo #DigitalMSK #DigitalHealth #MSK

In May, The Joint Commission published the 2023 Sentinel Event Data for 2023 in the US. It is available online at https://lnkd.in/gJTUvNae. The majority of events (96%) were self-reported and 88% occurred in hospital. Patient falls was the most reported sentinel event (48%) in 2023, and the remaining leading categories were wrong site surgery (8%), retention of foreign object (8%), assault (8%), and delay in treatment (6%).
