Description
As value-based care continues to evolve, orthopaedic surgeons must understand the policy and payment models driving the adoption of digital health technologies. This webinar will examine emerging CMS initiatives—including ACCESS, TEAM, CARA, and CJR-X—and discuss how these programs are shaping care delivery, quality measurement, and technology integration across musculoskeletal care. Faculty will provide an overview of the current policy landscape, highlight anticipated trends, and discuss strategies for preparing practices to successfully navigate the future of value-based care.
Learning Objectives
