We just got back from the 2025 American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) annual meeting - one of the largest gatherings of orthopedic surgeons and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) leaders in the country. This year’s conversations went far beyond implants and robotics. The real topic on everyone’s mind? Time. Surgeons and administrators alike talked about authorization delays, rising cancellation rates, and the pressure to keep operating rooms (ORs) full as reimbursement declines. Trevor Jackson from Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center said, “$750 saved is profitability. If you don’t think so, you’re in the wrong room.”We published our AAHKS 2025 Industry Report to unpack what we learned: Prior authorization has become one of the biggest barriers to surgical care. Denial prevention is now treated like quality control. Efficiency is the only way many ASCs can protect margins. Innovation is shifting to the moments that lead up to surgery. ExactRx delivers the autonomous checklist helping every healthcare facility move faster, reduce denials, and deliver care on time.We’re deeply grateful to everyone who’s been part of this journey so far - and to those joining us now. We’re just getting started in tackling a problem that touches every healthcare facility in the country, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.Read the full report here: AAHKS 2025 Industry Report: The Business of Orthopedics is Being Redefined
