OrthoChoice: Bundled Payments in the County of Stockholm (B)
By: Michael E. Porter, Clifford M. Marks and Zachary C. Landman
Abstract
By the end of 2008, all major hospitals (one of which was private) and three private specialized orthopedic centers signed OrthoChoice contracts. In 2009, hip and knee replacements in the County of Stockholm for relatively healthy patients began being reimbursed. By 2013, OrthoChoice had covered 12,531 hip and knee replacements, accounting for 59% of such operations for county residents. Total payments were SEK 704.5 million ($109.4 million). Dr. Holger Stalberg and his team at the Stockholm County Council (SLL) were reviewing the results of the new payment approach and considering how to improve the model.
