Michael Barnett, Assistant Professor at the Harvard School of Public Health joins us to discuss his evaluation of the CMMI bundled payment demo for joint replacement. He found a modest reduction in spending per hip- or knee-replacement episode, without an increase in rates of complications.

I spoke with Michael as part of my ongoing series of fireside chats with healthcare innovation leaders – Harlow on Healthcare, on HealthcareNOW Radio. Listen to our radio station online, or ask your smart speaker: “Alexa, play HealthcareNOW radio station.” You can catch me live weekdays at 8:30 am, 4:30 pm and 12:30 am ET.
