Relatable's Chief Strategy Officer, Clark Charlton, contributed to the article:

Mr. Charlton leads strategy for Relatable Healthcare, a business intelligence firm focused on the outpatient care space. Their platform objectively compares medical devices, analyzes usage and offers intelligent recommendations on ways to optimize clinical and economic decisions to best treat patients. Medical device companies and ASCs need to consider the following to align on price points/ reimbursements, in many cases lower than inpatient settings for implants:

• • Pursue regional or national pricing contracts to increase purchase volume (ASC management companies)

  • Drive high compliance contracts through supplier standardization (ASC management companies)

  • Reduce sales representative service models that require O.R. staff to be self-sufficient to support procedures

OrthoKnow's market update forecasts outpatient orthopedic volumes through 2023, and took a deeper look at the projected 200% increase in hip and knee replacements specifically. Additional forecasts are presented for inpatient and outpatient spine through 2023, with a notable 56% growth in fusion surgeries.

The next section of the update focuses on place-of-service considerations for outpatient vs inpatient settings, CMS impacts on ASC trends, device company considerations, and patient perspectives. OrthoKnow reviews the hip replacement market by analyzing sales performance, market share, revenue, and percentage growth of the top 10 manufacturers plus all others. Finally, the review offers insights into the future of anterior approaches in hip replacement.
