Increasing patient satisfaction through orthopaedic Enhanced Recovery Programme

The issue

  • Reimbursements – Operational and commercial risk transferred from insurer to provider via fixed reimbursements
  • Pain – 45%+ patients stated moderate to severe pain within 48 hours of surgery, delaying recovery
  • Mobility – Physiotherapy started late usually within 24-48 hours post surgery causing delay in mobility
  • Length of stay – 4-6-day length of stay resulting in marginal clinical benefit, unnecessary cost and higher infection risk

What we did

  • Established one multidisciplinary team
  • Developed Evidence-Based Enhanced Recovery Programme (ERP)
