This may be one of the more essential conferences of 2017. Value based care is the new buzz word. It will certainly have an impact on your practice. Time for a nuts and bolts summit on the subject. Here it is.

On January 21-22, 2017, the annual Interdisciplinary Summit on Orthopedic Value Based Care takes place in Newport Beach, California, at the Island Hotel Newport Beach.

Dubbed an “immersion weekend, ” this continuing medical education (CME) event analyzes bundle payments and the team approach. Approved by Duke University Health System Clinical Education and Professional Development and the American Nurse Anesthetist Credentialing Center, attendees may qualify for 14.3 physician and nurse CME credits.

The program organizers have focused on, among other topics, perioperative surgical home, enhanced recovery, and value-based care. Attendees will be able to choose from three parallel sessions including the rules of bundle payments, how to clinically manage patients of Medicare Access and Chip Reauthorization Act (MACRA) and Merit-Based Incentive Programs (MIPS), and how to build a clinical bundle care model from an operational perspective.

The organizers have assembled a renowned faculty of 21 speakers including hospital executives, orthopedic surgeons, hospitalists, gain-sharing experts and anesthesiologists. The speakers will address 39 topics ranging from outpatient joint surgery, delirium management, gain sharing and more. All attendees can customize their experience and maximize the weekend.

Special conference rates are available at this 4.5 star hotel for $189 per night. Attendees can secure this rate for three days before and/or three days after the conference to make the most of the weekend and tack on some leisure time.
