The OrthoForum is a national nonprofit network serving orthopaedic practices, including many of the largest privately owned groups in the United States. It was established to address the unique challenges facing integrated orthopaedic practices in today’s health care environment, selecting members to participate in activities that strengthen their local and regional presence through benchmarking, innovation, networking, and the sharing of best practices. Core offerings include a comprehensive benchmarking data system and an annual series of meetings, with additional education and information available through newsletters, surveys, webinars, conference calls, and direct contacts. The organization is politically engaged to defend independent orthopaedic group practice, with an advocacy team developing strategies to protect patient access, efficient care delivery, and cost reduction. It has established itself as an authority on orthopaedic business management, leveraging its benchmarking program to identify proven practices and set performance objectives, while helping member groups position themselves to succeed under value-based care. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, the OrthoForum operates as a mid-sized nonprofit with national reach. A recent development includes a 2023 partnership with OrthoLive to create a new referral channel for members.
