Financial impact

Reduce cost per patient by improving how care is delivered.

The financial impact of surgical care is driven by complications, length of stay, and workflow efficiency. When these are not controlled, costs increase without improving outcomes. Encare helps hospitals identify and reduce avoidable cost drivers.

“What is the financial impact of ERAS implementation?“

ERAS® implementation delivers up to 40% cost savings per patient, with an average of around 20% cost reduction in colorectal surgery and up to 8x return on investment in some implementations.* Financial gains come from fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and more efficient use of staff and bed capacity — all of which are only visible with structured measurement. *Data on file.

Where Financial Gains Come From

Financial improvement is not a single lever. It comes from:

  • Fewer complications and associated treatment costs
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Better use of bed capacity
  • Reduced variation in care delivery
  • More efficient use of staff time

Evidence Behind the Financial Impact

Across ERAS® implementations, studies show:

  • Up to 40% cost savings per patient*
  • Around 20% average cost reduction in colorectal surgery*
  • 8x return on investment in some implementations*

Procedure-specific examples include:

  • Up to $5,900 savings per colorectal patient*
  • $1,000–$3,300 savings in orthopedic procedures*
  • 8–40% cost reductions in liver surgery*

 

*Data on file

Why Financial Impact is Often Underestimated

Many cost drivers remain invisible without structured measurement:

  • Variation between teams
  • Hidden inefficiencies in workflows
  • Complications that could be prevented
  • Extended stays accepted as ‘normal’

Without measurement, these costs accumulate silently.

How Encare Supports Financial Performance

Encare connects clinical practice to financial outcomes by:

  • Linking compliance data to outcomes and length of stay
  • Identifying high-impact improvement areas
  • Supporting data-driven business cases
  • Enabling continuous tracking of financial improvement

Improving care quality and reducing cost are not competing priorities. When ERAS® is implemented and measured correctly, they move together.
