Since April 2016, many New Jersey hospitals have been required to participate in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services mandatory comprehensive joint replacement (CJR) bundling program. As a result of this first mandatory bundling program in the nation, relationships between hospitals, physicians and post-acute providers, such as skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies, have continued to be transformed. 

Now that hospitals are in the process of evaluating early results that will determine their performance vis-à-vis financial reconciliation, members are encouraged to join NJHA and LeadingAge NJ May 3 to a discussion on Year One of the Comprehensive Joint Replacement Mandatory Bundle: What Have We Learned? 

The program begins with a look at the national landscape provided by Kelly C. Price, vice president and chief of healthcare data analytics at DataGen.  The presentation will be followed by a panel of New Jersey hospitals and post-acute providers that have been engaged in the model who will discuss the operational, data analytic, systems, clinical, network development and other initiatives behind their participation in CJR as well as their plans for moving into year two of the model.
