The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) is a nationwide mandatory episode payment model impacting 135 California hospitals in three metropolitan service areas. The program was effective April 1.
To help participating hospitals and their staff understand the clinical and financial risks associated with the program, CHA developed the Implementing CJR — Strategies for Success seminar. The program will be held on Oct. 25 from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. in Los Angeles.
This comprehensive program will provide participants with the knowledge needed to manage patient care, foster physician alignment and develop effective partnerships with post-acute care providers.
Featuring state and national faculty, each with an area of expertise in episode care payment models, session topics include: CJR program overview; using data to identify opportunities and risks; creating or strengthening your post-acute care strategy; legal considerations including collaborator agreements, gainsharing and program waivers; and planning for CJR implementation in your facility.
CHA encourages health care providers to send all team members responsible for clinical care or financial aspects of CJR or episode-of-care planning. Tuition is discounted for multiple registrants from the same facility. For more information or to register, visit www.calhospital.org/implementing-cjr.
