The CMS TEAM model is approaching rapidly and will transform how hospitals are evaluated and reimbursed for key surgical episodes. Hospitals that prepare now can not only avoid losses but actually create a new revenue stream through earned savings and deliver better care in the process.

Every hospital mandated under TEAM should be asking:

• Are we ready for January 2026?
• Do we know our costs?
• Do we have the tools to manage patients beyond our four walls? Can we track and report the required metrics? *

If the answer to any of these is “not yet,” the good news is you still have time to build these capabilities – but you must start immediately.
