Becker’s Healthcare -- Spine and Orthopedic Podcast · Outpatient Migration and Independence in Orthopedic Practice with Robert C. Rhoad, MD · 11 Feb 2026 podcast

I can think off the cuff.

I think that we are definitely interested in some of the cutting edge opportunities to use our collectives.

And sometimes that can be just innovation, whether bouncing ideas in terms of back office, artificial intelligence, even utilizing fractional advising between smaller groups, and then development of other ancillary enterprises, such as helping someone build an ASC.

And I think that sometimes within our organization, if we're evaluating individuals,

opportunity, if we're evaluating a service or even a technology, having this trustworthy organization where we can, you know, like we were saying, just sort of bounce an idea off one another, but get a good founding board can be really valuable.

I don't know.

And I think it probably depends on what's the goal and the nature of each group.

And if the goal is to remain independent and maybe you're in an area where you don't necessarily have the scale or the size to have some of those services, this would be an opportunity for someone to gain the expertise, the assistance, or join in to be able to kind of enjoy a larger scale.

This is

maintaining independence, not another private equity venture, but it allows a group to reach out and have some of the different value areas where it would be purchasing power, strategic resources, and still maintain that physician-led kind of structure.

Sure.

There's so many different things every year.

You know, we're always changing and we're always looking for something new.

But one of the things, Carly, I've seen in the last few years that I think has really impacted patients has been the opportunity to maintain a pretty active lifestyle, especially when we consider our senior population.

So with fracture care, with injuries, with treating some of the issues,

I think we're seeing great evidence and we are personally seeing excellent experiences where our senior population now has the opportunity to be sometimes considering what might be thought of as a more aggressive younger person's procedure, such as fracture, fixation, and care with the goal of getting people back to an activity that's really important.

That could be music.

It could be golf, tennis, pickleball, yoga, Pilates.

And I think what we're realizing here now is that these are not just healthy lifestyles, but they're also one's quality of life, social interactions.

And when we talk to our patients, what are they missing?
