Rothman Orthopedics & NueHealth: Reducing Knee and Hip Replacement Implant Costs Through Data-Driven Insights

Avant-garde Health, a leading provider of healthcare analytics software and services, partnered with Rothman Orthopedics, a world-renowned physician group specializing in orthopedic care, and NueHealth, a prominent operator of surgery centers and hospitals across the U.S.

Together, they tackled the escalating costs of knee and hip replacements in one of Rothman and NueHealth’s regional markets.

Challenges: The rising cost of knee and hip replacement implants posed a significant financial challenge. Variability in implant pricing across facilities and discrepancies when compared to external benchmarks highlighted inefficiencies and opportunities for cost reduction.

Results

  • Cost Savings: Over $1.7 million in annual savings on knee and hip replacement implant costs.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Avant-garde’s software continues to track and report monthly savings across NueHealth facilities, ensuring sustained cost-efficiency.
  • Scalable Impact: The initiative set a precedent for future cost-saving projects across additional procedures, surgery centers, and hospitals.
