Triple Aim for joint replacement payment reform: Quality, Spending, and DISPARITY-REDUCTION. The CMS Innovation Center CMSGov's CJR may be a great medium.

Exceptional and important talk on “The State of Racial, Ethnic, and Income-based Disparities in Total Joint Replacement Use” by Dr. Caroline Thirukumaran (Caroline P. Thirukumaran). Thank your for your efforts and research to increase awareness about disparities! We can do better.

Bundled payments can limit access to joint surgeries for vulnerable patients. We examined this concern for patients with ADRD. We did not find evidence that CMS' CJR reduced access for patients with ADRD. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-… Grateful to Health Disparities The National Institute on Aging (NIA) JAMA Health Forum
