Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how implementing the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program affected treatment costs at a university hospital, focusing on a group of 604 patients.
- Researchers analyzed three patient groups based on ERAS clinical protocols and found significant reductions in the length of hospital stay (LOS) and direct treatment costs.
- The results highlighted major improvements, especially in the oncogynaecology group, leading to more available hospital capacity and lower costs for antibiotics and lab tests.
Objective: To describe the implementation process and evaluate the success of compliance with the recommended ERAS protocol in the Czech healthcare system.
Methods: The study included 163 patients from March to September 2022, a total of 7 months. Patients were divided into three groups according to the type of surgery.
Prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the Czech Republic can be estimated from data reported by health care providers either to the statistical office or to health insurers. The latter include both diagnosis and prescribed drugs. Patient classification to a certain chronic condition based on consumption of drugs (Pharmacy-based Cost Groups classification) has been used in the Czech Republic for the purpose of redistribution of collected funds among health insurers since the beginning of 2018.
