Abstract
Our small, private, 2 arthroplasty surgeon orthopedic practice has shown improvement in postoperative management for TJA patients in 1 year under the BPCI initiative, with increased discharges to home, decreased skilled nursing admissions, days in skilled nursing, and overall readmissions. Because BPCI includes fracture care arthroplasty, the model could be made more equitable if these patients were reimbursed a rate commensurate with their increased costs and risks.
