Key result
Implementation of ERAS across various surgery types reduces complications, shortens hospital stay, and lowers the cost of care, demonstrating its role as value-based surgery.
Why the study?
Does the implementation of ERAS improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs in patients undergoing surgery?
Does the implementation of ERAS improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs in patients undergoing surgery?
ERAS implementation improves clinical outcomes and reduces healthcare costs, demonstrating its role as value-based surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
ERAS may cut costs despite setup expenses; leaves open cardiac-specific RCTs to confirm benefits.
This paper reviews implementation of ERAS and its financial implications. Literature on clinical outcomes and financial implications were reviewed. Reports from many different surgery types shows that implementation of ERAS reduces complications and shortens hospital stay. These improvements have major impacts on reducing the cost of care even when costs for implementation, and investment in time for personnel and training is accounted for. The conclusion is that ERAS is an excellent example of value based surgery.

Ljungqvist et al. (2017) conducted a review in Surgery. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) was evaluated on Clinical outcomes and financial implications (complications, hospital stay, cost of care). Implementation of ERAS across various surgery types reduces complications, shortens hospital stay, and lowers the cost of care, demonstrating its role as value-based surgery.
