CMS’s new Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) mandates hospital participation, but orthopedic practices won’t be untouched - TEAM will impact how care is delivered and reimbursed. Now’s the time for orthopedic leaders to understand their role and take action to align with hospitals, create co-management and gainshare agreements, and prepare for what's coming in 2026.
Join Breanna Cunningham, CEO of CODE Technology, with experts from Duke Health, Indiana Orthopedic Institute, and Signature Medical Group, for real-world scenarios of how TEAM impacts hospital-physician relationships—and opportunities for creating stronger alignment, as well as orthopedic-specific considerations and areas where service line leaders can drive value.
Learning Objectives:
- Walk away with clarity and a plan for success
- Define the core components of the TEAM Model and how it differs from previous CMS bundles
- Recognize the financial and operational implications associated with orthopedic care, including strategies in creating alignment
- Develop a practical action plan to prepare for TEAM, including key data strategies, alignment tactics, and risk mitigation steps.
