April

9th Annual Interdisciplinary Conference on Orthopedic Value-Based Care (OVBC 2025)

April 3, 2025 to April 5, 2025
Waldorf Astoria, MONARCH BEACH RESORT & CLUB, Dana Point, CA
The Orthopedic Value-Based Care (OVBC) conference, now in its 9th year, has clearly evolved into a central gathering for stakeholders across the orthopedic ecosystem. With its mission to bring together orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, healthcare executives, nurses, medical device representatives, physical therapists, pharmaceutical leaders, payers, and consultants, the focus remains on fostering collaboration around value-based care and innovation in musculoskeletal (MSK) health.

This year holds particular significance due to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) upcoming 2026 mandatory bundle. This bundle encompasses lower joint surgery, hip fractures, spinal fusion, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), and colorectal procedures. As such, the event will be structured around preparing practices for this regulatory shift.

The conference’s approach this year is highly pragmatic, aiming to provide participants with actionable tools rather than just academic knowledge. Notably, Thursday's schedule includes two critical boot camps. The first will address the TEAM (Total Episode of Advanced Management) bundle, where representatives from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) will answer questions. The second will focus on perioperative care in 2025 and provide insights on managing care within the TEAM framework.

By emphasizing a "take action" mindset, OVBC is positioning itself as a practical, solutions-focused event that equips attendees with the necessary steps to align their practices with the evolving healthcare landscape. This hands-on approach will likely be invaluable for professionals seeking to implement concrete strategies in preparation for the CMS changes and the broader shift toward value-based care in orthopedics.

April 4, 2025
Sheraton Hotel, Madison, WI
Nationally, over 2 million people sustain osteoporotic fracture annually - a number projected to dramatically increase as our population ages. However, osteoporosis prevention and treatment, even after fracture, is underutilized and guidelines have recently evolved. Controversies surrounding optimal nutrition, who to evaluate and treat, available medications and other therapies will be discussed. Clinicians should appreciate the variety of conditions that contribute to fracture risk and that approaches to reduce osteoporosis continue to be under implemented.
