Why the study?
Do Enhanced Recovery Pathways (ERPs) improve outcomes and save costs in gynecology and gynecologic oncology patients?
Do Enhanced Recovery Pathways (ERPs) improve outcomes and save costs in gynecology and gynecologic oncology patients?
Enhanced Recovery Pathways in gynecology and gynecologic oncology improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
May support ERP consideration in gynecology; leaves open causal confirmation by RCTs.
High-quality evidence exists for improved outcomes among patients in ERPs. Enhanced recovery programs save resources and costs across the health care system. As quality metrics and bundled payments increase in health care, ERPs will have increasing prominence.
