5. Hospitals that partner with Stryker Performance Solutions for episode analytics will have access to EPM starting July 25.
6. Stryker Performance Solutions also recently launched a new platform called JointCOACH, which aims improve the overall care delivery and experience for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery.
