Becker’s Healthcare -- Spine and Orthopedic Podcast · Private Practice, Academics, and the Future of Spine Surgery with Alan H. Daniels, MD · 30 Jan 2026 podcast

It means you probably don't have optimized data or delivery.

And so I think over time through improved data initiatives and AI, we're going to be delivering better evidence-based care.

The next thing is specialized teams.

It is absolutely mandatory that you have a team that's adept at treating spinal deformity because I've seen people out in the community do these fairly complex cases.

The surgeon's very skilled and the patient starts having a problem and some staff member or someone else doesn't really know what to look out for and then a catastrophic complication ensues.

So if you're going to do this kind of work, you need to have

front desk staff and administrative staff, nursing staff, physical therapy, the OR, everybody who's used to treating this kind of thing.

And that's why what we've done at Brown and the Miriam is built a very highly skilled team of people who actually have an interest in this problem.

You can't just have people who say like, oh, yeah, yeah, I do orthopedics.

That's not enough.

It has to be people who know complex spine and spinal deformity.

And then the last thing

is alignment.

We've done a lot of work in spinal alignment.

We're making some great progress in terms of figuring out optimal alignment for patients.

And there's some very exciting products coming out in the pipeline that will be, you know, specific patient implants for their alignment that I think will really continue to revolutionize complex spine and spine fusion care.

Absolutely.

I think the first trend has to do with reimbursement, as we talked about, but is also closely tied to value-based and outcome-driven care.

I think they're all wrapped in together.

Now, we've been talking about value-based and outcome-driven care for a long time, and it's not like it's just all going to be a wave and show up in the next six months or one year or two years, but it is coming, especially in spine because poor outcomes are not sustainable.
