1. Gaining control of the episode of care
CMS’ newly proposed (and mandatory) bundled payment
program, Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CCJR),
along with the voluntary Bundled Payments for Care Improve-
ment (BCPI) initiatives, are designed to incentivize hospitals
to coordinate and improve the quality and cost of care for
Medicare patients undergoing total joint surgery.
Intralign’s Bundled Payment Program helps hospitals and
health systems optimize care delivery and maximize results
under value-based care. Unlike consulting houses, Intralign
provides hands-on services to increase control and lower costs.
Healthcare is facing unprecedented challenges. America’s need for surgical care is growing, while
value-based payment initiatives demand that hospitals find ways to do more with less – at a higher
quality level. Intralign empowers providers to successfully navigate healthcare reform through better
control of the episode of care – with a focus on orthopedics. Intralign achieves this by uniquely com-
bining hands-on clinical support with operational support tools to guide providers toward optimal
results across the episode of care.

Achieving bundled payment success
Intralign gives you the roadmap and tools to achieve success.
Our customized Strategic Bundled Payment Roadmap identi-
fies and reduces inefficiencies within the episode of care – and
provides the plan, clinical innovations and support tools need-
ed to prioritize care delivery components. Intralign starts by:
Defining the Opportunity: Intralign employs ro-
bust data and analytics in order to understand
both hospital and market spend, utilization, and
outcomes data and identify current care delivery
patterns and areas for improvement.
Episode Gap Analysis: After assessing the pa-
tient journey and provider activities both inside
and outside the 90-day episode of care, Intralign
prioritizes critical points where variation in deci-
sion-making can result in clinical and financial
risks.
Strategy & Implementation: Intralign builds and
helps the hospital implement their customized
strategic roadmap that targets the greatest op-
portunities relevant to meeting and beating the
Bundled Payment target spend.
“Hospitals and health systems have built
care processes and policies around the
current regulatory payment structures,
and these systems will have to be
changed if they are to achieve success in
the CCJR program. This is no small task; it
will require significant investments of time,
effort and finances.
They also will need to align with other
providers, both physicians and post-acute
facilities, to achieve efficiencies under
the model. This will entail forming new
and different contractual relationships
that build valuable partnerships and
incentivize successful strategies.”
