CJR-X will change more than reimbursement. As accountability expands across the full 90-day episode of care, surgeons, hospitals and care teams will need to think differently about coordination, recovery and outcomes. In this conversation, Jonathan Vigdorchik, MD and James Huddleston III, MD discuss where surgeons can have the greatest influence, how episode success is changing and what arthroplasty programs can do now to prepare for the future. The discussion focuses on practical lessons and leadership perspectives rather than policy details or technology. This episode is sponsored by Zimmer Biomet.
