The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has proposed alternate payment models to improve the efficiency and decrease the redundancy of health care. Bundled payments or episode-based care is one example. Herein, we report on the successful implementation of a quality improvement project in which changing the clinical workflow for postoperative radiation treatment to the hip to prevent heterotopic ossification improved the efficiency of patient care and decreased cost by eliminating redundant imaging through multidisciplinary participation. This project is a model for interdisciplinary collaboration to improve patient care and reduce unnecessary health care spending in the era of bundled payment/episodes of care program implementation.

Background: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced (BPCIA) Model that covers 90-day care episodes after select orthopedic procedures including anatomic or reverse ball-and-socket total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA/rTSA). This study investigated whether patients undergoing TSA/rTSA for non-degenerative processes incur higher costs than patients undergoing arthroplasty for degenerative processes.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all patients at a single academic medical center enrolled in the BPCIA model for TSA/rTSA from October 1, 2018, through December 31, 2022.

Background And Objective: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is increasingly used for treating bradycardia and heart failure. However, real-world data are limited. The Conduction-System Pacing Italian Network Group (C-SING) collected prospective data on LBBAP procedures in a nationwide context.

Article Synopsis
- Ventricular premature depolarizations (VPDs) during acute coronary syndrome (ACS) correlate with increased hospital mortality, particularly with RBBB patterns.* -
- In a study involving 18,009 ACS patients, 627 with VPDs showed a higher hospital mortality rate (7.8%) compared to those without (4.9%).* -
- The presence of RBBB pattern in VPDs is linked to higher hospital mortality, while VPDs with a superior axis are associated with increased post-discharge mortality.*

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA) is a multi-factorial disorder, with quite complex endotypes, consisting of anatomical and non-anatomical pathophysiological factors. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recognized as the first-line standard treatment for OSA, whereas upper airway (UA) surgery is often recommended for treating mild OSA patients who have refused or cannot tolerate CPAP, mild and primary snorers. The main results achievable by the surgery are UA expansion, and/or stabilization, and/or removal of the obstructive tissue to different UA levels.

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating condition associated with high mortality and substantial residual disability among survivors. Effective treatments for the acute stages of ICH are limited. However, promising findings from randomized trials of therapeutic strategies, including acute care bundles that target anticoagulation therapies, blood pressure control and other physiological parameters, and trials of minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures have led to renewed optimism that patient outcomes can be improved.
