Background: Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) is a Medicare initiative to test the impact of holding a hospital accountable for services provided during an episode of care for a lower extremity joint arthroplasty on costs and quality. This study examines whether hospital participation in CJR is associated with having programs focused on improving posthospitalization care or reducing costs using a survey of orthopedic surgeons.
Methods: Seventy-three (of 104) orthopedic surgeon members of the Hip Society, a national professional organization of hip surgeons, completed the survey.
