DJO introduced the OaraScore, the industry's first outpatient arthroplasty risk assessment tool, at the 2018 American Academy of Hip and Knee Surgeons Annual Meeting in Dallas, Nov. 1-4.
Here are four things to know:
1. The software tool is designed to help providers assess the appropriate postoperative length of stay after total joint arthroplasty.
2. The OaraScore is part of DJO's MotionMD, a subscription-based software-as-a-service tool developed to support claims management and inventory dispensing. As of October, MotionMD processed more than 1.5 million patient agreements since its 2016 launch.
3. Fishers-based Indiana University Saxony Hospital physicians R. Michael Meneghini, MD, and Peter Caccavallo, MD, developed the OaraScore.
4. The OaraScore software tracks readmission rates and compares data to all other physicians utilizing the tool. All confidential patient data remains encrypted.
