- Abstract:
The article discusses the four cost drivers for orthopaedic surgery episodes, namely hospital length of stay (hLOS), hospital readmissions, post-discharge services, and implant costs. The factors that affect the implementation of bundled pricing in the U.S. are mentioned including anti-trust laws, payment reform preferences and economies of scale. The benefits of bundled pricing are also noted including reduced complications and improved healthcare quality.
