QUESTION 2: Scenario 2: You are the manager of a large orthopedic practice who participates in the BPCI program. Your practice does 400 total knee patients each year. Medicare has set pricing for a total knee replacement patient at $28,415 per patient for a 90-day episode of care. Current practice is that all patients automatically go to an SNF for 20 days. Based on current research, the goal is for 60% of your patients to go home with home care and those going to an SNF to stay for 10 days so the BPCI program will be profitable. Consider measures you might recommend, e.g., consider length of stay, reducing readmissions, attracting new business, care redesign, patient satisfaction, and physician engagement

Provide a redesign strategy you might recommend for the scenario you chose. Some redesign strategies you might consider are included with each scenario, but you are not limited by them.

o Be specific and provide an example.

· Locate a scholarly article to support the redesign strategy and give a brief summary of the outcomes or results of the implementation of the strategy.
