Orthopedics Sample Clauses

Orthopedics. The most relevant advantage related to the robot assistance in orthopedics is represented by an accurate and precise bone resection. The first robot used in this field – in 1992 for a total hip replacement – was Robodoc (Curexo Technology Corp, originally by Integrated Surgical Systems), which received the CE marking (1996), and FDA clearance for total hip replacement (1998) and total knee replacement (2009). The Robodoc system is constituted by two components: Orthodoc, a 3-dimensional surgical planner, and the Robodoc surgical assistant, the robot employed for hip replacement intervention. A direct competitor of Robodoc, although no longer for sale, was Caspar, a robotic system for knee and hip surgery, launched in 1997 by OrtoMaquet. In 2008, the Rio robotic arm (Mako Surgical Corp, previous generation called the Tactile Guidance System) was released and received FDA clearance; the Rio is used for implantation of medial and lateral unicondylar knee components, as well as for patellofemoral arthroplasty. It is worth to observe that robotic arm of Rio already offers a tactile feedback to the surgeon. iBlock (Praxim Inc., an Orthopaedic Synergy Inc. company, previous generation the Praxiteles, FDA clearance 2010) is an automated cutting guide for total knee replacement mounted directly to the bone, in order to reduce the robotic influence on the cutting instrument. The Navio PFS (Blue Belt Technologies, CE xxxx 2012) does not require a computed tomography scan for unicondylar knee replacement, instead using an intraoperative planning. The Stanmore Sculptor (Stanmore Implants, previous generation the Acrobot Sculptor by Acrobot Company Ltd.) is a synergistic system similar to the RIO, with active constraints to keep the surgeon in the planned workspace; this system received FDA clearance in 2013.

Orthopedics. Orthopedic shoes and shoe inserts. This exclusion does not apply to orthopedic footwear used as an integral part of a brace, shoe inserts that are custom molded to the patient, or therapeutic shoes and inserts designed to treat foot complications due to diabetes, as specifically stated under the Durable Medical Equipment provision of PRUDENT BUYER PLAN BENEFITS - COVERED SERVICES AND SUPPLIES.
Orthopedics. The Parties recognize that the need for comprehensive surgical and non-surgical orthopedics care is expected to grow in correlation with the aging of New Hampshire’s population and agree to integrate their respective orthopedic capabilities in order to offer a full range of inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory services to patients throughout the System’s service areas. D-HH orthopedics and sports medicine specialists and sub-specialists provide advanced adult and pediatric medical and/or surgical care for the full spectrum of orthopedic-related conditions and injuries, including hip and knee joint replacement, foot and ankle, shoulder and elbow, and hand and wrist, among others. They also provide orthopedic services for patients who require multi-disciplinary, specialty and sub-specialty care for spine, trauma and oncological conditions, among others. CMC has developed a dedicated inpatient orthopedics unit which provides more complex orthopedic services in collaboration with independent, community-based physicians, who will continue to be an integral component of the System’s coordinated patient care and pluralistic physician model. HH and MCH provide routine orthopedic care but face mounting physician and associate provider workforce challenges that threaten their ability to meet community needs. The Parties agree that the combination of their complementary resources will enable the System to allocate those resources appropriately and optimize capacity to serve the needs of its patients. The System will deploy specialists and sub-specialists to CMC’s inpatient orthopedic unit to expand access to complex orthopedic procedures like joint replacement and revision surgery for patients in southern New Hampshire, more than 1,000 of whom annually seek inpatient orthopedic care out-of-state or at DHMC, which, due to capacity constraints, is forced to deny admission to hundreds of orthopedic patients annually. Additionally, the System will proactively manage the transition of appropriate inpatient procedures to the hospital outpatient setting and utilize the System’s existing and planned ambulatory surgery center capacity in Manchester to expand access to the rapidly growing volume of orthopedic procedures performed in the less costly ambulatory setting, ensuring that patients receive the most acuity-appropriate, convenient and cost-effective care across the inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory care continuum. As referenced in Section 5.3.4(a) below, the Parties ...

  • Health Screening The Contractor shall conduct a Health Needs Screen (HNS) for new members that enroll in the Contractor’s plan. The HNS will be used to identify the member’s physical and/or behavioral health care needs, special health care needs, as well as the need for disease management, care management and/or case management services set forth in Section 3.8. The HNS may be conducted in person, by phone, online or by mail. The Contractor shall use the standard health screening tool developed by OMPP, i.e., the Health Needs Screening Tool, but is permitted to supplement the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool with additional questions developed by the Contractor. Any additions to the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool shall be approved by OMPP. The HNS shall be conducted within ninety (90) calendar days of the Contractor’s receipt of a new member’s fully eligible file from the State. The Contractor is encouraged to conduct the HNS at the same time it assists the member in making a PMP selection. The Contractor shall also be required to conduct a subsequent health screening or comprehensive health assessment if a member’s health care status is determined to have changed since the original screening, such as evidence of overutilization of health care services as identified through such methods as claims review. Non-clinical staff may conduct the HNS. The results of the HNS shall be transferred to OMPP in the form and manner set forth by OMPP. As part of this contract, the Contractor shall not be required to conduct HNS for members enrolled in the Contractor’s plan prior to January 1, 2017 unless a change in the member’s health care status indicates the need to conduct a health screening. For purposes of the HNS requirement, new members are defined as members that have not been enrolled in the Contractor’s plan in the previous twelve (12) months. Data from the HNS or NOP form, current medications and self-reported medical conditions will be used to develop stratification levels for members in Hoosier Healthwise. The Contractor may use its own proprietary stratification methodology to determine which members should be referred to specific care coordination services ranging from disease management to complex case management. OMPP shall apply its own stratification methodology which may, in future years, be used to link stratification level to the per member per month capitation rate. The initial HNS shall be followed by a detailed Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool (CHAT) by a health care professional when a member is identified through the HNS as having a special health care need, as set forth in Section 4.2.4, or when there is a need to follow up on problem areas found in the initial HNS. The detailed CHAT may include, but is not limited to, discussion with the member, a review of the member’s claims history and/or contact with the member’s family or health care providers. These interactions shall be documented and shall be available for review by OMPP. The Contractor shall keep up-to-date records of all members found to have special health care needs based on the initial screening, including documentation of the follow-up detailed CHAT and contacts with the member, their family or health care providers.
