Zimmer Biomet Rolls Out Comprehensive Episode-Of-Care Program

The orthopedics giant is integrating a suite of products and services to help hospitals transition to value-based health-care payment models. The initial focus will be joint-replacement procedures, but Zimmer Biomet anticipates expanding the concept to spine surgery and other sectors.

Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc. is rolling out the Signature Solutions program, a package of software and consulting services to help hospitals take advantage of the orthopedic surgery industry's ongoing transition from fee-for-service to value-based payment models.

"This is really critical at this time, because more payers are looking at episode-of-care management … and other bundled payment programs," Zimmer Biomet's Joe Tamaro told Medtech Insight. Tamaro is the General Manager of Accelero Health Partners, a subsidiary of Zimmer Biomet that operates the firm's consulting division
