At the 2019 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS), a survey was conducted to assess current practice management strategies by AAHKS members.
AAHKS members used an audience response system to respond to queries related to a variety of practice management issues. The survey contained multiple-choice and yes or no questions. The answers were collected in a central database and provided to the audience in real time.
There were a number of surprising findings in this year's survey. A majority of AAHKS members are still in private practice (40%), fee for service is still the most common form of compensation (39%), and there has been a decrease in the number of AAHKS members participating in bundle payment contracts (34%). There has been a dramatic rise in both the use of unicondylar knee arthroplasties and the performance of same-day total joint arthroplasty among AAHKS members.
The survey documents the current practice patterns of AAHKS members and demonstrates the continued evolution of the practice of total joint arthroplasty. Future surveys should continue to monitor practice activity related to private practice, fee for service, and the use of same-day total joint arthroplasty.
在 2019 年美国髋关节和膝关节外科医师协会（AAHKS）年会上，进行了一项调查，以评估 AAHKS 会员目前的实践管理策略。
AAHKS 会员使用观众应答系统来回答与各种实践管理问题相关的问题。该调查包含多项选择题和是/否题。答案被收集在一个中央数据库中，并实时提供给观众。
今年的调查有一些令人惊讶的发现。大多数 AAHKS 会员仍在私人执业（40%），按服务收费仍然是最常见的薪酬形式（39%），参与捆绑支付合同的 AAHKS 会员数量减少了（34%）。AAHKS 会员中，单髁膝关节置换术的使用和同一天进行全关节置换术的比例都有显著增加。
该调查记录了 AAHKS 会员的当前实践模式，并展示了全关节置换术实践的持续演变。未来的调查应继续监测与私人执业、按服务收费以及同一天进行全关节置换术相关的实践活动。
