Value-Based Care Insights New Episode NOW On-Demand
On this episode Dan sits down with Amit Jain, MD, MBA, Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Neurosurgery, Chief of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Johns Hopkins, and Director of Value-Based Care for Johns Hopkins Health System. Together, they unpack how organizations can reduce costs while improving performance outcomes such as length of stay and readmission rates—ultimately advancing their value-based care strategy. Explore expert insights on aligning surgical services with cost-effective, high-quality care delivery.
Key Takeaways:
- Surgical and perioperative services are impactful areas for influencing both fee-for service and value-based care, hence operational efficiency is critical for financial sustainability.
- Inefficiencies in a patient’s pre-surgical evaluation—such as surgical delays, poor coordination, or inadequate planning—can lead to longer lengths of stay, higher readmission rates, and increased overall costs.
- Optimizing surgical performance extends beyond mere cost reduction; it involves aligning clinical processes with the strategic objectives of value-based care.
