Abstract
Primary total hip arthroplasty at teaching orthopedic hospitals is characterized by greater utilization of health care resources during the index admission. This suggests that teaching hospitals may be adversely affected by reimbursement tied to competition on economic and clinical metrics. Although a certain level of inefficiency is inherent during the learning process, these policies may hinder learning opportunities for residents in the clinical setting.
