CABG Surgical Bundle
Adopted September 2015
The majority of health care payments are for number of services provided rather than quality of care or per person or per unit of time. This workgroup develops recommendations to tie provider payment to an entire episode of care including potential complications resulting from poor care and has focused on total knee and total hip replacement, lumbar fusion, and coronary artery bypass surgery. The coronary artery bypass graft surgery workgroup met from February 2015 – September 2015.
