Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Health Economics
Patient Care Management

Background:

Total joint arthroplasty is a high-volume orthopedic procedure facing increasing economic pressures.
Minimizing costs while improving quality and value is crucial in the current US healthcare system.
Existing protocols may contain unnecessary practices that can be streamlined.

Purpose of the Study:

To present an argument for and background on patient-centered arthroplasty protocols.
To provide recommendations for designing simplified, reproducible arthroplasty care pathways.
To discuss the cost-effectiveness of value-delivering protocols and identify future research areas.

Main Methods:

Review of existing evidence-based practices in total joint arthroplasty.
Development of a simplified, patient-centered care pathway model.
Analysis of cost-effectiveness research related to value-driven orthopedic protocols.

Main Results:

A protocol-based model focusing on simplification, evidence-based practices, and patient experience was implemented.
The protocol aims to eliminate unnecessary dogmatic practices.
The model is designed for enhanced cost-effectiveness and improved patient value.

Conclusions:

Patient-centered, simplified arthroplasty protocols can maximize value delivery.
The proposed model is adaptable for application across various joint arthroplasty practices.
Continued research is needed to refine and improve protocol development for future orthopedic care.
