Postoperative Home Health POD1 Nursing Completes full assessment Assesses Hemovac drainage (knees) or On-Q pump (Hips) Administers last IV dose of antibiotics and discontinues IV lock. Obtains a CBC Therapy Start seated AROM exercises Continue supine AROM Measure AAROM
Postoperative Home Health POD 2 Nursing Completes full assessment Removes Hemovac drain (knees) or On-Qpump (hips) Obtains CBC only if day 1 Hg <10.5 or excessive drainage from incision Ace bandage removed Silver lon dressing (if used) left on for 7 days and then removed Therapy Start standing exercises with walker Continue with all others Start stair training if able POD3 Therapy Increase all exercises difficulty (repetit ions) depending on tolerance
Post-Op Daily Assessments Home Health Nursing Educate patient and family members Fall prevention, pain control, S&S of infection and DVT Importance of regular bowel movements Medication and their side effects Importance of ice/ elevation Complete full system assessment Check incision Edema measurements Document findings on communication sheet in folder Allows subsequent clinician visits has an established baseline.
Post-Op Daily Process Home Health Patient responsibility Instructed to complete exercises three times a day Ice and elevate with heel prop after each session Ambulate once an hour Therapy Each session includes bed mobility, gait training and transfer training Focusing on safety using muscular strength and normalization to avoid compensatory techniques. Progress patient to SPCfrom WW and eventually to no AD when gait is with minimal or no pain. Progress patient to exercises with Theraband when appropriate.

Reimbursement Same Day TJR Payer Limitations Medicare Exclusions Inpatient Only procedure; ASC Covered procedures Commercial payers dependent on Medicare coverage policies Licensing Restrictions Approved procedure exclusions of Total Joint Codes Participating Payers Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield ACS Facility Reimbursement Negotiated Fee for Service (Procedure Based) plus Cost carve outs for Implants Physician Reimbursement Incentive Based Fee for Service (Procedure based payment increases based on Episode Quality and Cost Performance) Under Development Retail Bundled Pricing
Cost Per Episode ASC v. Hospital Clinical advancements and cost efficient protocols are generally portable and can be applied in a hospital based setting. Hospitals conceptually recognize the need to adapt and share with consumers lower unit costs Convincing Hospitals to pass cost savings to the consumer in terms of lower pricing or out of pocket expenses remains a challenge
Partnering with Payers It s like bringing Moneyball to health care - Brett Morris, President of Health Net of Arizona Health Insurers recognize that narrow networks improve cost and quality performance predictability Desirable networks include physicians who practice evidence based medicine AND utilize cost effective facilities The gateway to earning payment incentives for physicians is quality, and the means for insurance companies to fund the incentives is lower facility cost. Physicians practicing quality medicine in high cost venues will end up in those network tiers that will require the patient to pay an increased cost to access them Today, low costs and high value trump provider choice

JOURNEY II BCS A Rationale for Guided Motion
Performance to patient expectations Only 14% were satisfied with squatting 2 Arms (TKA v Normal Knee) 243 TKA Patients v 257 individuals Age and Gender matched arms Performance to expectations was poor Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2005 Feb;431:157-165: Noble PC, Gordon MJ Mathis KB
Performance/Satisfaction of TKA s v THA? Post THA: sports activities increased from 36% to 52% Post TKA: sports activities decreased from 42% to 34% The Ulm Osteoarthritis Study- K Huch Up to 20% of patients are not satisfied with the outcome following total knee replacement Only 82% to 89% of primary TKA patients are satisfied J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2010 Sep;92(9): Scott CE, Howie CR, MacDonald D, Biant LC Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2010 Jan;468(1):57-63: Bourne RB, Chesworth BM, Davis AM, Mahomed NN, Charron KD

VISIONAIRE Cutting Guides Disposable TKA cutting guides designed to match the patient s anatomy Utilizes preoperative MRI and full-leg X-Ray Based off the gold standard of mechanical axis alignment
VISIONAIRE Instrumentation v standard TKA Reduces OR time by eliminating a number of steps in the surgical technique* Alignment, sizing, and rotation are included in cutting guides Improves alignment and sizing by using computer generated images of the patient s anatomy to determine bone cuts, and implant positioning preoperatively Eliminates need to violate the IM canal, reducing blood loss and complications from fat emboli Reduces sterilization due to less instruments required for surgery Standard TKA VISIONAIRE instrumentation
VISIONAIRE My Experience Pre-op plan allows me to know exactly what to expect with every surgery Less invasive to patients (No IM rod, Less Ligament releases) Better patient outcomes More efficient OR (Less trays & instruments) S&N has reduced the instruments and implant sets at my hospital It makes me a better surgeon
VISIONAIRE Surgeon Benefits Know exactly what to expect with each case Can anticipate intra-op problems before they happen Ability to customize each plan specific to patient s anatomy Dedicated engineer Reduced instrumentation in the OR OR Staff loves it My patients are happier (Increases patients confidence)
VISIONAIRE Patient Benefits Patients have: Less pain Shorter hospital length of stay Less physical therapy Less blood loss Preop X-Ray Post-op X-Ray Post-op 1 Month
