Hey, Ben. I follow your superb posts closely and it is clear that our perspectives are aligned. Would love to chat more about this one in particular. I'm an arthroplasty surgeon as well. I've been a staunch advocate for Porter and Teisberg's Integrated Practice Unit concept around MSK since I read their book 15 years ago (on Kevin's recommendation). Orthopedic surgeons should be MSK mentors to our PCP colleagues. Actually, tried 3x to set one up with our community PCPs - each went down in smoke. Timing wasn't right and incentives were completely misaligned (there was no financial downside risk for non-participation in the program). If you feel up to it, connect on steve.schutzer@gmail.com. Happy New Year.
