Recover capacity by reducing variation and length of stay.
Operational performance in surgery is directly tied to clinical execution. When care varies, hospitals see longer stays, unpredictable patient flow, and inefficient use of resources. Encare helps hospitals standardize care and make operational performance measurable.
ERAS® implementation reduces length of stay by up to 50% overall, with reductions of 30–40% in colorectal surgery, 3–7 days in orthopedic procedures, and 1–3 days across gynecology and liver surgery.* By standardizing care and reducing variation, hospitals free bed capacity and improve surgical throughput — without structural expansion. *Data on file.
What Operational Improvement Looks Like
Hospitals improving ERAS® adherence typically achieve:
Shorter length of stay
More predictable patient flow
Reduced variation across teams and departments
Increased surgical capacity without adding resources
Evidence Behind the Impact
Across specialties, structured ERAS® implementation consistently reduces length of stay:
Up to 50% reduction in length of stay overall*
30–40% reduction in colorectal surgery*
3–7 days shorter stays in orthopedic procedures*
1–3 day reductions across gynecology, liver surgery, and other specialties*
These gains translate directly into freed bed capacity and improved surgical throughput.
