Abstract

Orthopaedics has seen a rapid transition to value-based care. As we transition away from fee- for-service models, healthcare systems, groups, and surgeons are being asked to take on an increasing amount of risk. While on the surface, risk make have a negative connotation, managing risk allows surgeons to maintain autonomy while taking on value-based care to the next level. The purpose of this paper, the first in a series of two, is to walk through the impact that value-based care has had on musculoskeletal surgeons, to understand the continued movement healthcare is making into risk sharing models, and to introduce the concept of surgeon specialist-led care.
