AAHKS Comments on Proposed TJA Risk-Standardized Complication Rate

Last week AAHKS submitted input to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on Development of a Hospital-Level 90-Day Risk-Standardized Complication Rate (RSCR) Following Elective Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and/or Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) for a Combined Inpatient (IP) and Outpatient (OP) Setting Measure. Several AAHKS members have served on the technical expert panel and have been involved in the development process of this measure. For more information, read our letter.
