U.S. Orthopaedic Partners Chooses Johnson & Johnson as Vendor
U.S. Orthopaedic Partners' Exciting Vendor Selection
U.S. Orthopaedic Partners (USOP) is proud to announce a significant partnership with Johnson & Johnson, becoming its official vendor for total joint products. This strategic agreement promises to deliver immediate benefits, elevating clinical quality and enhancing patient outcomes.
Commitment to Clinical Quality
From the outset, USOP prioritized clinical performance and long-term effectiveness above all else. The evaluation process led by USOP's Physician Board was thorough, demanding head-to-head clinical reviews and meticulous benchmarks of outcomes to ensure each product met stringent standards before final selection.
As Stephen W. Samelson, MD, the president of Southern Orthopaedic Surgeons and chair of both the USOP Board of Directors and USOP Physician Board, emphasized, “This initiative was fundamentally about implementing the highest standards of clinical quality. Our extensive tests and evaluations guided us to the selections that will yield optimal care for our patients while providing tangible value for our practices.”
Enhancing Value and Operational Efficiency
The physician-led initiative at USOP exhibits the capability of a medical service organization (MSO) to unite surgeons, practice leaders, and investor partners in a common goal: to enhance clinical outcomes while effectively managing costs. By standardizing implants and related supplies for total joint procedures, USOP streamlines operational processes, resulting in efficient contracting, simplified logistics, and net savings that can be reinvested into patient care and operational excellence.
This partnership also grants access to Johnson & Johnson's cutting-edge innovations, including the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution. USOP surgeons will now have access to the latest tools from a well-respected leader in medtech. The inclusion of these next-gen solutions was pivotal in the evaluation process, reflecting USOP's dedication to combining value with advanced clinical capabilities.
Physician Leadership Leading the Charge
“Our agreement with Johnson & Johnson exemplifies what can be achieved when physician leadership, operational know-how, and investor backing work cohesively,” stated Steve Holtzclaw, MD, MBA, CEO of USOP. “Frequently, the promise of MSOs falters. However, we have actively delivered, fulfilling our commitment to patient-first decisions while allowing for financial leeway to reinvest in community healthcare.”
Key Benefits of the Agreement
The partnership offers a range of notable advantages:
- Clinical-driven product selection: Every product has been vetted through extensive testing and performance benchmarks, ensuring superior outcomes.
- Immediate and sustainable cost efficiencies: The partnership is projected to liberate funds for technologies and programs designed to benefit patients and local communities.
- Streamlined operations: Standardizing supply chains and simplifying purchasing will enhance inventory management throughout USOP’s framework.
- Ongoing physician-led oversight: Continuous performance monitoring driven by surgeons to uphold high standards.
USOP understands that transitioning to vendor standardization involves significant change management. To support this process, the organization has conducted evaluation sessions led by physicians and provided targeted training to instill confidence in the selected products. Rollout of these products in USOP practices is set to commence shortly.
