A survey was conducted at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) to assess practice management strategies among current AAHKS members.
Members of AAHKS used an app to answer both multiple-choice and "yes or no" questions related to a variety of issues related to their practices.
The number of AAHKS members in private practice (37%) continues to decline, and 4% are now in private equity-employed practices. Fee for service (30%) and relative value units (30%) are the major forms of compensation. The number of AAHKS members that perform total joint arthroplasties at ambulatory surgery centers continues to increase, and supply chain issues (91%) remain a problem. There has been a decrease in surgeon participation in bundled payment programs and gainsharing arrangements with hospitals.
This member's survey provides valuable information regarding practice patterns. The shift to outpatient surgery has continued. Future surveys will be performed to monitor changes in practice patterns over time.
在美国髋关节和膝关节外科医师协会（AAHKS）2023 年年会上进行了一项调查，以评估当前 AAHKS 成员的实践管理策略。
AAHKS 成员使用应用程序回答与实践相关的各种问题的多项选择和“是或否”问题。
私人执业的 AAHKS 成员数量（37%）继续下降，现在有 4%的成员在私募股权投资雇佣的实践中。服务费（30%）和相对价值单位（30%）是主要的薪酬形式。在门诊手术中心进行全关节置换术的 AAHKS 成员数量继续增加，供应链问题（91%）仍然是一个问题。外科医生参与捆绑支付计划和与医院的收益分享安排的人数有所减少。
这项成员调查提供了有关实践模式的有价值的信息。向门诊手术的转变仍在继续。未来将进行调查，以监测随着时间的推移实践模式的变化。
