2021 AANA/ASES Specialty Session-Panel/Q and A

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The panel discusses the shift toward outpatient arthroplasty accelerated by COVID-19, driven by insurance companies steering cases away from hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers. Key factors for success include strong partnerships with anesthesiologists, effective patient and family engagement, and nurse navigators to support social and medical needs. Challenges exist in aligning institutional incentives with value-based care, requiring collaboration between physicians, hospitals, and insurers. Examples from Illinois and Philadelphia highlight different approaches to integrating outpatient care through teamwork and data-driven demonstrations of value. Overall, the transition demands infrastructure, collaboration, and evolving technology to optimize patient outcomes and costs.
