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.
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.
What ERAS® Qualification Represents
ERAS® Qualification signals that a hospital has moved beyond adopting guidelines — and is applying them consistently across the perioperative pathway. It reflects:
Sustained compliance with ERAS® protocols
Alignment across multidisciplinary teams
Continuous monitoring of performance and outcomes
A structured approach to perioperative care
It is, ultimately, a recognition of how care is delivered in practice.
The Role of Encare
Encare provides the solution hospitals use to implement, measure, and sustain ERAS® in practice — and to build the data foundation required to demonstrate sustained adherence.
EIAS — ERAS® Interactive Audit System
The mandatory platform for ERAS® Qualification. Enables continuous tracking of compliance and outcomes across surgical programmes.
The self-directed implementation path for teams with the confidence or internal expertise to lead their own ERAS® adoption. Eligible for the ERAS® Qualification pathway.
