Clinical integration is crucial for managing quality outcomes in musculoskeletal bundles. Musculoskeletal bundles, which refer to the comprehensive, episode-based payments for specific procedures like joint replacement or spinal fusion, aim to promote better coordination, reduce costs, and improve patient outcomes. Clinical integration is a means to achieve these goals through the following ways:

Transitional care management (TCM) is an increasingly vital aspect of healthcare delivery. As patients move between different healthcare settings, they need coordinated care that ensures a seamless transition from one provider to another. TCM aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital readmissions, and provide continuity of care.

In recent years, payors have been increasingly focused on connecting cost to quality in healthcare. This means that they are tightly connecting any improvements to contracts to the providers ability to demonstrate how they are reducing the overall cost of care while improving patient outcomes. Orthopedic surgeons are no exception, and data is playing a crucial role in driving payor contracting with these providers.
