Abstract

Bundled payment models hold providers accountable for both the quality and cost of care provided to the patients. Proactive risk assessment can improve quality and reduce the costs of care. Numerous risk factors may impact patient outcomes. Personalized care plans aimed at reducing or eliminating risks are key to improving patient outcomes. Opportunities to provide personalized risk modification exist before, during, and after the elective surgical admission. A variety of validated tools exist to assist providers in assessing risk in patients planning an elective procedure.
