Orthopaedics

Theatre time and implants: where orthopaedic margin lives.

Orthopaedic economics concentrate in theatre utilisation, implant cost and post-operative follow-through. Drapto measures revenue by procedure and surgeon, tracks utilisation, and keeps insurer balances from ageing quietly.

The rehabilitation nobody completed was revenue too.

Orthopaedic pathways continue well past the operation. Patients who quietly stop attending post-operative and physiotherapy appointments represent both a clinical gap and a revenue one.

Procedure economics and surgeon contribution

Joint replacement, arthroscopy, trauma and conservative management carry different margins. Reporting them separately with surgeon contribution ranked in department shows where the centre actually earns.

Post-operative follow-through, made visible

Follow-up appointments and physiotherapy courses that were booked but never completed show up on the patient timeline and in utilisation — both a care issue and a measurable revenue leak.

  • No-show and utilisation economics measured

Benefits

What changes for your team.

Theatre time gets managed

Measured utilisation makes list planning a decision rather than a habit.

Follow-through stops leaking

Visible drop-off in post-operative and physiotherapy attendance is both a care and a revenue signal.

Insurer balances stay current

Ageing catches scheme payments before recovery odds collapse.

Surgeon conversations stay fair

Contribution ranked within department, weighted by satisfaction, keeps performance reviews credible.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does Drapto track implant inventory?

No. Inventory and clinical systems stay as they are; Drapto measures the revenue, collections and utilisation layer.

Can we see physiotherapy completion?

Attendance across the pathway is visible on the patient timeline, and no-show tracking prices the capacity lost.

Does it handle insurer and self-pay?

Yes, with collection rate and ageing reported regardless of payer mix.

Do the AI agents work for this speciality?

Yes. All three agents run on your own AI provider key and work from data already in your account. The Revenue Leakage Analyst calculates deterministically, so every figure it reports is verifiable against your own books.
