A recognition of sustained, measurable adherence to ERAS® protocols.
ERAS® Qualification is awarded by the ERAS® Society to hospitals that demonstrate consistent application of ERAS® guidelines in clinical practice. It is the result of structured implementation, measurement, and sustained performance over time.
“How does a hospital get ERAS qualified?“
To achieve ERAS® Qualification, a hospital must complete the ERAS® Implementation Program (EIP) and use the ERAS® Interactive Audit System (EIAS) — to demonstrate sustained compliance with ERAS® protocols over time. Qualification is awarded by the ERAS® Society. It is earned through structured implementation, measurement, and demonstrated improvement in protocol adherence and patient outcomes.
ERAS® Qualification signals that a hospital has moved beyond adopting guidelines — and is applying them consistently across the perioperative pathway. It reflects:

It is, ultimately, a recognition of how care is delivered in practice.
ERAS® Qualification now has a validity period
It now has a defined period of validity rather than being a one-time award. Through ERAS® Re-Qualification, teams demonstrate continued excellence and keep their ERAS® Qualified status.
For hospitals, ERAS® Qualification provides:
Whether you are starting from scratch or already applying ERAS®, the first step is understanding your current level of adherence.
Encare helps you measure where you stand and build a structured path forward.
