Consequently, developing episode-based care models for total joint arthroplasty is in the best interests of surgeons, health systems, and patients. In this article, we review important developments related to value-based care in total joint arthroplasty and present an episode-based framework for delivering high value, patient-centric care. We examine each phase of a total joint arthroplasty episode – pre-operative, acute, post-acute, and follow up – and present several ideas with developing bodies of evidence that can improve the value of care delivered to the patient. Between the 406 concepts discussed and those yet to be explored, the coming years present many exciting 407 opportunities to deliver high value, patient-centric care in total joint arthroplasty and to lead 408 redesign efforts in elective surgical care delivery .	./cache/cord-336882-x9e6r0h0.txt	./txt/cord-336882-x9e6r0h0.txt
