Showing the way
The incentive to advance outpatient orthopedics is no longer
based solely on performing safe, efficient and effective surgery.
It's about delivering value-based, patient-centered care and reduc-
ing the expense of achieving excellent outcomes. Orthopedic
leaders have for years been putting into practice the concepts that
will shape the future of health care, and will continue to lead the
way through clinical advances, risk-sharing reimbursement prac-
tices and patient care improvements.

Advanced Orthopaedics and practices at the Orthopaedic Medicine and
Surgery Care Center in Washington, D.C.
