The OrthoForum

The OrthoForum is a national specialty physician network whose membership includes many of the largest privately owned orthopaedic practices in the United States. The OrthoForum was established to meet the unique challenges that integrated orthopaedic group practices face in today’s health care environment. Each member is individually selected to participate in activities that advance each group’s presence in its local and regional markets through benchmarking, innovation, business ventures, networking and best practices. Highlighted service offerings include the most comprehensive orthopaedic practice benchmarking data system in the nation and an annual series of meetings that fosters member networking and individual interactions. This is supported by opportunities throughout the year to gain information and education through listserv communications, surveys, webinars, conference calls and one-on-one contacts. Emphasis is placed on achieving improved operating and strategic performance through best practices and shared knowledge. Both as an organization, and through its individual members, the OrthoForum is politically engaged to protect independent orthopaedic group practice. The OrthoForum advocacy team regularly develops strategies and actions to defend independent practice, placing the highest priority on patient access, efficient treatment processes and reduced cost. The OrthoForum has established itself as one of the nation’s foremost authorities for orthopaedic business management. Our extensive benchmarking data system ensures that we factually identify best practices and set reliable performance objectives. In addition, we are committed to help strategically position our member groups to not only thrive in the face of new industry challenges but lead in shaping the delivery of value-based care.
