𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 "𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞" 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞? Better outcomes for patients, or better use of resources for the system?

On 8 October, we're bringing together three people who've spent their careers on exactly this question: a surgeon, a health economist, and a hospital leader applying it all in practice.

Prof. Olle Ljungqvist, Dr. Stefan Larsson, and Dr. How Kwang Yeong will talk through what value-based care actually looks like once it moves from policy into the operating room.

Free to join. Recording available for everyone who registers.

Behind every successful prehabilitation program is a team that had to figure it out together: surgeons, nurses, physiotherapists, and dietitians, all working from the same page.

On September 11, six clinicians from HCL - Hospices Civils de Lyon (France) share how their teams built a multidisciplinary prehabilitation program for digestive surgery, including the real challenges they had to work through along the way.

Free to join, and the recording will be sent to everyone who registers, so you won't miss it if the live time doesn't work.

Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) l (TTSH) is marking a decade since the launch of its Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) programme.

Through evidence-based care pathways before, during and after surgery, ERAS® aims to reduce complications, accelerate recovery and shorten hospital stays, so patients can return more quickly to their daily lives.

In this interview, TTSH’s ERAS lead Dr How Kwang Yeong shares how the programme has delivered sustained improvements in reduced hospital stays, readmissions, and patient outcomes.

Ten years ago, Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) in Singapore launched its first ERAS® pathway in colorectal surgery. In year one alone: 29% shorter hospital stays and 58% fewer readmissions.

Since then, the hospital has opened a dedicated ERAS® ward, earned ERAS® Centre of Excellence status, and helped a growing cluster of hospitals get there too. This May, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and Woodlands Hospital both reached ERAS® Society qualification.

As Dr. Kwang Yeong How, ERAS® lead at TTSH, puts it: "𝑰𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔, 𝑬𝑹𝑨𝑺® 𝒊𝒔 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆-𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏." Behind that is standardised, evidence-based care, teams working together across specialties, tracking outcomes, and always learning from the data.

"Rather than a destination, ERAS® is an ongoing journey," he adds. "It is ultimately about building a learning healthcare system that continuously measures, adapts, and improves."

Encare's ERAS® Interactive Audit System (EIAS) is one of the tools that helps make this kind of ongoing progress visible.

Congratulations to the teams at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and across NHG Health on ten years of results worth celebrating.

Ever wondered what it really takes to bring ERAS® pathways to life inside a hospital, not just on paper?

Join us on August 19 for a live conversation with the surgical and anaesthesia team at Gleneagles Hospital Johor, Malaysia. They will share their experience building ERAS® pathways for knee, colorectal, and gynaecology surgery, including how they made same-day discharge possible for selected patients.

Can't make it live? The recording will be sent to everyone who registers.

What changes for patients and teams when ERAS® moves from guideline to daily practice?

At Gleneagles Hospital Johor, Malaysia, a dedicated team built and now runs ERAS® pathways for knee, colorectal, and gynaecology surgery, including work toward same-day discharge for selected patients.

On August 19, join a live conversation with the team who lived it, together with Dr. Vera Lim, ERAS® Trainer from Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), Singapore.

At Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra, with 11 ERAS® protocols already in place, the answer was structural:

"𝑊𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑝𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑆® 𝐶𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑐 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑧𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑠… 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠." Dr. Manuel Rosete

The ERAS® Clinic creates the infrastructure to:

• Standardize care across specialties

• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams

• Use clinical resources more efficiently

• Strengthen research and continuous improvement

This is what it looks like when ERAS® moves from individual adoption to a hospital-wide operating model.

This is the difference between doing ERAS® and delivering it.

Recovery from surgery doesn't start in the operating room. For many patients, it can start weeks earlier.

On September 11, clinical teams from Hospices Civils de Lyon (France) share how they built a prehabilitation program for patients preparing for digestive surgery, combining physiotherapy, nutrition, and hands-on support before the day of the operation.

Join the free webinar to hear how it works in practice, straight from the team that built it.

ERAS® protocols improve surgical outcomes. That much is well established.

The harder challenge is measuring compliance consistently across an entire hospital system, at scale.

Working with Mayo Clinic Platform Solutions Studio, Encare helped build a governed, scalable ERAS® data infrastructure across three Mayo Clinic medical centers and four surgical specialties, with a fully automated data pipeline from Epic into the ERAS® Interactive Audit System (EIAS).

Mayo Clinic Platform published a full case study on the collaboration: https://encare.net/news/building-enterprise-scale-eras-data-infrastructure/

Implementing ERAS® is not always easy. But the impact makes it worth it.

As Dr. Manuel Rosete (Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra) puts it:

“𝐼𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑎 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑏𝑖𝑔 𝑗𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑦, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎 𝑙𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑎𝑑.

𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑙𝑒.”

That’s the reality of ERAS®.

It requires change. It requires alignment. It takes time.

But hospitals that commit see measurable results:

• Fewer complications

• Faster recovery

• More efficient use of resources

The real challenge, though, is knowing whether ERAS® was actually delivered — consistently, across teams, and over time.

Most hospitals believe they are doing ERAS®. Few can actually measure it.
