The Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) represents CMS’s latest approach to episode-based payments. This program focuses on improving care quality during specific medical procedures while managing costs effectively.

The model transforms the way hospitals provide surgical care by emphasizing the full patient journey from preparation for surgery to recovery.
