Total Knee and Total Hip Replacement Bundle

(Adopted November 2021)

TJR-Codes-17-1031

Surgical bundles align healthcare delivery, purchasing and payment with an evidence-informed community standard for quality. These models provide an alternative to fee-for-service reimbursement and facilitate value-based contracting. Total joint replacement, including total hip and total knee replacement, are high-volume surgeries nationally and in Washington State. The first bundle was published in 2013, was revised in 2017, and revised again in 2021. The most recent bundle includes segments on same-day discharge for surgery as well as updated references to the HOOS. Jr. and KOOS Jr.
