Affordable Care Organizations and Bundled Pricing: A New Philosophy of Care

Gonzalo Barinaga et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Innovation was chartered to develop new models of health care delivery. The changes meant a drastic need to restructure the health care system. To minimize costs and optimize quality, new laws encourage continuity in health care delivery within an integrated system. Affordable care organizations provided a model of high-quality care while reducing costs. Bundled payments can have a substantial effect on the national expenditures. This article examines new developments in bundle payments, affordable care organizations, and gainsharing agreements as they pertain to arthroplasty.

Keywords: ACOs; Bundle payments; Episode of care; Gainsharing; TJA.
