New Year, New Possibilities
Happy New Year! I am excited to re-introduce this corporate newsletter with news and information for all Physicians and staff of The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics (The Centers). While our care centers are spread across Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia, I hope that this bi-monthly newsletter brings us closer together and gives you a glimpse into what’s happening within The Centers.
With 2018 in the rearview mirror and the new year stretched out ahead of us, let’s take a moment to look at what has been achieved at The Centers in the last year and what we have to look forward to in 2019 and beyond. Here is a quick list of highlights from 2018:
- Continued growth as our care centers welcomed new surgeons to their groups
- Expanded integration of PT operations – we created our own PT billing company within The Centers to make reporting on patient outcomes and billing activity more cohesive.
- Laid the groundwork for our own in-office medication dispensing program.
- Continued the process of standardizing policies and procedures across the organization
These accomplishments would not have happened without the hard work and dedication of our corporate staff, many of our Physicians and Administrators. We are truly blessed as a company to have so much talent throughout our entire enterprise, that is freely shared by people who share a common goal to continue to make CAO the preeminent orthopaedic practice in the country.
In 2019 you will continue to see forward movement at The Centers. We are on a path to future participation in strategies and practices of musculoskeletal Population Health. Additionally, we are taking active steps to share our story with potential patients in Maryland, DC, and Virginia. Always remember that you are a part of the story. No matter what your role in the organization, you play an important part in the patient experience.
The Leadership Team and I are very excited about the possibilities before us as we take active steps to move forward with one vision, using one voice, as one brand. Have a great 2019 and look forward to our next newsletter in March.
