Techy Surgeon
CJR-X — the mandatory national joint replacement payment model — was finalized August 4, 2026. This is the independent education hub preparing AAHKS members for it.
Built for the surgeon between cases: look something up, see where you stand, get back to the room.
Look up any hospital: participation status, episode volume, and what the final rule means for its book of joint replacement.
