An APP is usually a Physician’s Assistant or Nurse Practitioner. Their role is to help support your provider in diagnosing and managing your care.

A physical therapist can help evaluate your condition and guide you in exercises to help your recovery. Physical therapy is common after surgeries and is usually done in a clinical setting.

For Healthcare Professionals
Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement
CJR “bundles” the payment of all the services that are provided to patients during the hospitalization for surgery and 90 days after discharge. This requires all doctors, hospitals, and post-acute care providers to work closely together to provide high-quality care to patients undergoing total knee and hip replacement.
To provide more coordinated services, we have entered into Collaborator Agreements with orthopedic surgeons who perform total knee and hip replacement surgeries at our hospital. See the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) Collaborator Selection Criteria policy:

Additionally, we will provide Total Joint Coordinator Nurses, who will work with patients prior to surgery and will follow the patients for 90 days after discharge to make sure recovery is going well and to coordinate any follow-up care. Learn more about the program and how it affects your care.
