Area of Science:

  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Healthcare Economics
  • Patient Recovery Protocols

Background:

  • Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are increasingly adopted in various surgical disciplines.
  • Understanding the clinical and financial impact of ERAS implementation is crucial for healthcare providers and policymakers.
  • Previous literature has explored ERAS's effect on patient recovery but comprehensive financial analyses are still needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the implementation of ERAS programs.
  • To analyze the financial implications associated with ERAS protocols.
  • To evaluate the relationship between ERAS, clinical outcomes, and healthcare costs.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review was conducted focusing on studies reporting ERAS implementation.
Keywords:

  • Clinical outcomes data, including complication rates and hospital stay duration, were extracted.
  • Financial implication data, encompassing implementation costs and overall care costs, were synthesized.

    • Main Results:

    • ERAS implementation is associated with reduced postoperative complications across diverse surgical types.
    • Shorter hospital stays were consistently observed in patients managed under ERAS protocols.
    • Despite initial investment costs, ERAS leads to significant reductions in the overall cost of surgical care.

    Conclusions:

    • ERAS represents a paradigm shift towards value-based surgical care.
    • The clinical benefits of ERAS directly translate into substantial financial savings.
    • Widespread adoption of ERAS is recommended to improve surgical efficiency and reduce healthcare expenditures.
