Registration is open for the American College of Perioperative Medicine’s Interdisciplinary Conference on Orthopedic Value-Based Care.

The conference, which takes place Jan. 18-20, 2019, in Newport Beach, Calif., spans three tracks and includes 38 faculty members who will speak on value-based payments, enhanced recovery after surgery, MACRA, MIPS and the Comprehensive Joint Replacement program. Chaired by Zeev N. Kain, MD, president of ACPM and chancellor professor at UC Irvine Health, the event is designed as an “immersion weekend” to cover the team approach to orthopedic care.

Experts from across the field, including orthopedic surgeons, nurses, physical therapists, anesthesiologists, healthcare executives, patients and futurists will be speaking. The event also includes a day focused on outpatient surgery and ASCs.

“The idea of this conference is to break the silos in the orthopedic space,” said Dr. Kain. “This is the third year of the meeting and we have a top-notch speaker agenda who see this as a very important concept. Many are coming in teams of three or more to take advantage of our three parallel tracks: operational, clinical and financial aspects of orthopedics and spine.”
