Episode – Quality Management Systems (E-QMS)

E-QMS is addressing the inexperience of low volume surgeons allowing all hospital orthopedic lines to provide a standard quality of care irrespective of surgeon skill. E-QMS offers several benefits that will standardize and transform the quality of orthopedic care provided to its beneficiaries. E-QMS is built on efficient objective data analysis of patient morphology throughout the continuum of care in order to assess the effectiveness of surgical technique, rehabilitative strategy and other key factors in the episode of care to drive standardize surgical pathways where the key elements that drive better clinical outcomes are considered and accounted for no matter the hospital or practitioner.

 

 

• Correlation: Quality of Care and Surgeon Volume

• 20 years of Literature Shows Higher Volume is Directly Correlated to Better Quality

• 80% of Surgeon Demographic that Performs TJA are Low Volume Surgeons

 

Orthopaedic Unmet Needs:

• Economic and clinical outcomes are heavily dependent on surgical decisions, yet the data is not objectively collected or measured

• Surgical technique for TJA procedures is variable which leads to inconsistent outcomes and costly revisions

• Patient satisfaction data is highly subjective and not reliable

• Hospitals have no objective surgical quality assessment processes in place
