Avant-Garde Healthcare Highlights

Dear CSS Members and Colleagues:

I will soon be posting the preliminary program for our 2019 CSS meeting. This year the theme will be twofold:

1. Measurement to deliver Value with specific attention to shoulder care

2. Disruptive Innovation in Large Organizations: Successes, Failures, and missed opportunities.

You may remember my posting on Avant-Garde Health a Data-Analytics company committed to improve value of care for orthopedics. Derek Hass, their founder and President will be participating the coming year’s CSS meeting and so I am enclosing a posting from him on this organizations activities. More to follow. This meeting will be a departure from the usual surgical considerations but it will be very interesting and impactful. I hope you will consider attending.

Kind Regards,

Jon JP Warner, MD

Founder, Codman Shoulder Society
